A glorious early autumn day, after a walk on Aberdour beach we called in by the Kelpies, got the only free car park space (thank you to Grandma Lil, who exerts her influence from upstairs at times like these). Despite the pylons and power lines, there are an infinite number of photo opportunities, although it has to be said that it took several hours to line up those black headed gulls on that branch.  Huge respect to the people behind this project, it took many years but yesterday folk flocked to a park in between Falkirk and Grangemouth, to have a walk in the sunshine, mebbies a cone too, in a venue accessible to all; well done.
