<p>Dramatic mood swings with the light and cloud meant no direction looked the same during a walk in the Southern Uplands & no scene stayed the same for long.<br />
Is it just my imagination or is there a ghost drifting in from right.</p>

<p>Standing proudly overlooking Talla in the Tweedsmuir Hills stands the last remnants of an old iron fence. Still embedded in its rock like "Excalibur" it looks like it will still be standing for a few more wind battered years to come. Directly behind Excalibur runs a huge line of modern deer fencing built to protect the reforestation of the lower slopes.</p>

Britain is blessed with some seriously world-class coastline, and arguably a good chunk of it can be found in the Southwest of England. From personal experience, I can also heartily recommend the coast around St. Abbs Head in the Scottish Borders. Lisabet and I have been there before, two years ago in fact, so we visited the area again recently whilst staying for a week based in Aberlady, 20-miles east of Edinburgh.</p>

<p>Craigdilly as seen from the south. I love some of the hill names given to the southern uplands... I passed over the queerly named "Gool Knowe", "Muckle Knees" (big knees) & "The Strypes" today on my walk. "Paper Hill" is not that far away either. More upland Plateau than hills to be honest but what they lack in stature they make up for it with their crackin names.</p>
