Herks o'er the Howe

This happened a few years ago, so I just had to paint it. I donated it to the local ATC Sqdn
Howe, Scots for Valley or fertile flat land
Acrylic on mount board about 30" X 12"

Good image Jim -are those Walter Scotts favourite hills in the background?

The Lomomd Hills, sometimes known as 'The Paps o' Fife'. The view point is from Cults Hill, and you are looking west towards the Ochil hills.
The a/c are on a low level route and are probably heading for St Abbs Head, NDB then down across the borders, and back south. Jim

The pic has a nice feeling to it, Jim.

Thanks Jim - thought (mistakenly) that they were the Eildon hills down Melrose way , another well used low level spot in days gone by according to a mate of mine who lives down there .

That's probably where they are heading. My Old Man used to fish the Whitadder and Blackadder. I have been with him and experienced Low Level Fright! .
We get quite a few from Leuchars comming up the valley and one of the G C A flight paths is just to the north of us.

Aye - I've been to Whitadder, aforementioned mate started off his low level photog interest at that location . Unfortunately the one time myself and wife stopped off for a picnic there all I saw was a Harrier pair dropping in North of us and heading West.

Another lovely piece of work.
