Captured at Drumlanrig, Keir, Scotland, close to Drumlanrig Castle. I loved the sweeping curve of the wall and the way the light caught the bridge. Surrounded by trees it looked quite attractive

Captured at Achray Forest and this moss covered fence caught my attention. Just around the corner in the top of the picture I turned to take another look as we were going back to the car and made a discovery. As you can see in the PiPs this is clearly what skiers do when there is no snow - they head for the forest:-)))))))).

A strange sight indeed. The Green Man is a figure of folk culture and is a symbol of nature, spring and rebirth

I have added a song called 'The Green Man' by Martin Donnelly

Captured at Walfords Gibbet, on the Quantock Hills, Somerset

The place name comes from the story of a young man, a charcoal burner named John Walford who was very popular and became engaged to be married to a lady named Ann Rice. A local girl named Jane Shorney however set her sights on John and became pregnant by him. He was arrested and told he must marry Jane or pay for the upkeep of his child. His engagement to Ann was ended and he married Jane. The marriage was soon in trouble and three weeks after the marriage with Jane already pregnant for a second time the couple went to Castle comfort in Donnington with John arriving back home in the early hours on his own.

The next day some children spotted some blood coming from below a gate and the body of Jane Walford was found beaten and knifed in what became known as Dead Woman's Ditch. A search of their cottage revealed a bloody knife and John was arrested and sentenced to death. His former fiance came to see him before he was hanged and gave him her forgiveness. John's body was left to hang for 100 days for all to see.

I have added a song called 'The Hanging Tree' sung here by Rachel Zegler.

On the way to Loch Katrine we stopped at Loch Achray. The lochside trees captured my attention, and I particularly liked the shape of the old bare tree as it caught the sunlight..

Campbeltown Loch, Argyll, Scotland. From this close up shot the tall 'Torbay Palm' trees seem to touch the sky.

Framed between the trees you have a glimpse of Davaar Island situated at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch off the east coast of Kintyre

I have added 'Touch the Sky' performed by the Mamas

Taken at Steart. A bleak day but this rounded fence caught my eye. The trees are obviously protected by the fence but the poor log was excluded - I guess they are clearing out the deadwood!!

I have added a song by Robert Plant called Big Log
