Kirkton Glen


This is Kirkton Glen, a remote upland glen, drained by the Allt Auchtertyre (pictured) which enters the very top end of the Fillan beside the Holy Pool.
It always seems to be raining up here, the hills are very steep and unforgiving and we were glad to get this area finished. Kirkton Glen is managed by the Scottish Agricultural Colleges, and hosts several interesting experimental sites relating to sheep grazing and native woodland establishment at high levels.
