| The long and winding road, Ochil Hills |
28th June 2013, Above Path of Condie, Ochil Hills
The hill country west of the M90 motorway and east of the A823 through Glen Devon. Geographically part of the Ochil Hills and encompassing the old boundary between Kinross-shire and Perthshire, this is a lonely area off the beaten track. Just hills, farms, forestry and winding roads. From the centre of Milnathort a road heads north, over the M90 motorway towards Glenfarg. After 2 1/2 miles a sign read 'Path of Condie' 4 1/2 miles so I turned left to see where it would lead. 1 1/2 miles further along the road snaked and dipped between two rolling hills so I pulled off the road to have a closer look. As sunset approached the sky was still blue with thin, wispy clouds radiating outwards from where the sun would be setting, which, one week after the summer solstice, would be in the north west around 10 o'clock. Even after the sun finally set the luminosity in the sky lingered and the pink hues of the gloaming light were absolutely astonishing.
