Loudoun Hill is the plug of a volcano that has a steep cliff on one side and fairly steep grass, rock, trees on the other. any way, took a few snaps Getting all arty now on top of the world, nearly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hares were in abundance prob still is. But I'm sure the rigside lads would have put a dent in the population lol I was friendly with a cpl of keepers so they turned a blind eye to me running the hares. As long as thier beloved grouse were not disturbed lol yea some cracking spots up that area. Most hares I ever saw in a field at one time was the back road into biggar.
