Cairnhill gorse

A cold morning walk round the Cairnhill was brightened by the first gorse flowers of the year.

The path to the abandonned Cairnhill Croft is rapidly being taken over by gorse



This morning the temperature was 2c as we walked over the Cairnhill. The ground was frozen hard, puddles were frozen solid and frozen snow remains at the roadside but
 some of the gorse is already bravely struggling into flower
