I was able to identify this photograph by checking the photograph with numbers before and after this photo ie SPW020601 and SPW020603. I was able to see that the trees in the wood in both SPW 020601 and SPW020602 looked similar so I started a check in detail. Very soon things fell into place. It required an act of faith to identify Mugdock Loch which initially looked just like a field. When you examine it carefully against the map you find that it is the right shape. everything else fits in. The photo is taken looking north. There is a lochan just to the north of Mugdock Loch which is the right shape. North of that is the line of the Craigallian Road. Over to the right we have a field boundary and road leading up to South Lodge. Across the middle of the image we have a diagonal boundary which can be seen both on the 1:500000 OS map and on Google maps satellite view. There is also a distinctive shaped clearing which may be seen on Google. I am very happy with this identification because everything fits and the previous shot SPW020601 is in the same area. I have spent much time trying to identify the dwindling number of unidentified shots but this one took very little time in the end. |

In line two above where I say SPW020601 for the second time it should be SPW020603. Thanks |
