Summary edit

Description
English: Forest edge, Alltan Airigh Mhic Choinnich The edge of a large Forestry Commission block. The appalling Ordnance Survey cartography, AKA the purple plague*, shows that a lot of the moor here is also owned by the FC, but was mercifully left unplanted. Most of the square is an open sheep walk.
  • I do hope that when you are reading this, the obtrusive purple is absent from the map. Its purpose according to the reply to a complaint about loss of contour data is to encourage map users not to go on to privately owned land. What relevance this has to Scotland is a complete mystery. One thing is certain - there is NO access to the FC land to the southeast of here. It is choked in spiky trees with few gaps, let alone paths or clearings.
