A brown hillside seen through an old four-pane sash window. A white cottage in the top right pane, a sheep in each of the bottom panes and a small stream in the bottom right.

On a sunny day near Killiecrankie.#FingerpostFriday#Scotland#Hiking#Pitlochry
Two wooden, pointed signposts in the top left of the image. One reads ‘Bealach Path Pitlochry’, the other reads ‘Path to Ben-y-Vrackie’ and points uphill, indicating a path through the heather to the top of a hill in the distance under a blue sky with scattered white clouds.
