Stirlingshire - Dumyat

A great vantage point from the top of Dumyat, showing the meandering of the River Forth. Starting from the Cambus Pools Nature Reserve on the right, working its way left through the photo surrounding Alloa and Tullibody Inches just off centre, then Black Devon Wetlands, passing both Clackmannanshire and Kincardine Bridges and ending with the inactive Longannet Power Station on the left. It's fair to say that the River Forth is full of both natural and cultural heritage. Photo taken by David Palmar
