A little stroll in the Menstrie Valley to see how the STUDIOVHF trees are doing. I was pleased to see that they are doing great! They were really enjoying the rain that I underestimated and I got soaken wet...
Also good to see that there was plenty of water in the reservoir as well!

And obviously, I went up my former local hill again! #Dumyat #ochilhills #stirling

I liked the patterns the high cirrus clouds made in the sky above the Ochil Hills in this shot. It almost looks like someone behind the hills has a huge spray-can of Cirrus Cloud White 🧐.

The Gnarly Tree. This sits at the foot of the switchback track that leads to both Silver and Alva Glen in the Ochils. Shot yesterday afternoon in the brilliant Spring sunshine.
-
Glenwinnel Burn in the Ochils, where it crosses into Alva Glen at the foot of Craighorn. Taken from a small bridge, looking directly down to the flowing stream.
-
This path leads from the Woodland Park car park near Alva up to the access point to Silver and Alva glens in the Ochils. The sunlight in the morning is beautiful here, and I've shot this scene many times.
-
A view across to the southern escarpment of the Ochil Hills, taken from the upper basin of the Falkirk Wheel. The wedge-shaped building in the foreground is the Visitor Centre.
The Falkirk Wheel is a mechanical boat lift that was built for the Millennium. It replaced a flight of 11 locks that originally joined the Union Canal to the Forth & Clyde Canal. It is a very impressive structure, and well worth a visit.
-
A scene in the Ochils looking towards Whitewisp Hill on the top right, taken from Tarmangie Hill whose summit is just through the gate on the left. Innerdownie can also be seen in the far distance at the top left.
-
Taken in the Ochils, near the start of the private road leading to the Glendevon reservoirs and Frandy Fishery.
-
This is a view towards a small hill called Ben Shee in the Ochils, which can be seen just right of the centre rising into the sky. The road is the track that leads past both Glendevon reservoirs; the reservoir in view is Lower Glendevon.
The small building is the club house for Frandy Fishery.
-
This is the spillway of Lower Glendevon Reservoir in the Ochils, taken on a very cold December day.
I especially liked the soft patterns of the falling water (captured using a slow shutter speed). These form a contrast with the hard ice that is being deposited on the grasses and rocks to the sides.
-
Upper Glendevon Reservoir in the Ochils, on a cold November day. I loved the sky, and used a very wide angle lens to make it look more dramatic.
-
This is the top of Alva Glen in the Ochils, on a clear, cold winter's day.
-
Two shots on a walk to King's Seat Hill in the Ochils during a winter's day. First image shows The Law in the middle distance, and the second has King's Seat Hill dominating the skyline.
-
This is Wood Hill in the Ochils, near to Alva Glen, and is one of my favourite scenes in the summer. I've walked the Ochils for over 20 years now, and never fail to find them beguiling.
-
in both the UK and continental Europe for many years to come and expand the total amount of trees!
4/4

Balvaird Castle, probably built on the site of an earlier castle in 1500 and enjoying an imposing hilltop setting in the Ochil Hills east of the M90. It's no Stirling Castle, but as a statement of dominance it still takes some beating. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenfarg/balvairdcastle/index.html

Last stroll for the next few weeks... Tomorrow, I am travelling back to the flatland, but it looks like I will be back at the end of the month and early next!

I has a nice 'little' hike tonight in Alva Glen. Hadn't done that route for a few years and it was a bit tougher than I remembered... Anyway, got back down safely and very much enjoyed it! #hiking #hillwalking #hillwalkingscotland #alvaglen #ochills #ochilhills #scotland

After covering the Dumyat Hill Race last night, I had another stroll tonight in my favourite Ochill Hills. #ochills #ochilhills #ochilhillrunners #dumyat #dumyathillrace

Last week I had a little stroll in the Menstrie Valley and inspected the site where we are thinking of sponsoring about a 100 trees (cash flow permitting😀). I would be chuffed to bits when this is realised in this section of the Ochil Hills that I love so much and had lots of walks! #treeplanting #rewildingscotland #ochilhills #menstrie #stirling #scotland

Not the most efficient morning to say the least... turned up on time to photograph a new interior, but the lights weren't working. But at least de christmas tree did! #ochilhills #ochils

Had a little walk again tonight. Should do that more often. Did a lot of rambling in #Scotland, but here I am using the excuse that the landscape is boring. Well it's not the #OchilHills obviously but it is nevertheless great to be outdoors, smell nature and get some exercise! #Rechteren #Dalfsen #Heino #Stirling

Tonight we have covered the Dumyat Hill Race again. We were lucky with the weather and the atmosphere was grand! We have shot the first runner going up, that last and a lot in between. Images will be live on https://www.photographerstirling.co.uk/news by the middle of next week.
The images below are from 2022 and 2018 respectively.

A nice wander up innerdownie hill #ochilhills #scotland atmospherically murky to start but clearing a bit later. Breezy at top but mild
