Cornaless - Loch Thom Area

The weather and light weren't great but I couldn't resist another wee run up to this area.

I did get a little sunshine late on, but it was still cold in the wind.

A couple of Canadian Geese were about but proving elusive to get some better shots.

Greenock Cut Visitor Centre

In all these years this was my first visit to the Greenock Cut Visitor Centre - but it will not be my last.

Part of Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park there are a number of walks to suit most individuals.

It was a damp day but rewarding, as the colours were stunning at times when the light was right.
