Peathill from the Knoggan Hill junction
White campion (Silene alba)A night and morning of heavy rain, enough to flood the Rosehearty/New Aberdour road at the Avenue, suddenly cleared to give a fresh afternoon. Grey Granite and Rufus enjoyed a walk 'Round the Horn'. In the ditch by Smiddyhillock they found an abundance of campions, red (Silene diocia) which is common at roadsides, the less common white variety, (Silene alba) and a pink hybrid of both. All along the back road the air was fragrant with the scent of gorse. There are patches of wild hyacinths, buttercups, speedwells and near the kirkyard, star of Bethelem. The wild roses are almost in flower, Grey Granite hopes that if the warm weather continues the buds will soon burst.
