Stirlingshire - Flanders Moss
A peat bund blocks the drainage from the raised bog, helping to raise the water table and re-wet the bog following previous drainage when ditches were dug and peat removed to create agricultural land, Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve, Stirlingshire. A wet bog is a carbon sink - it sequesters carbon, whereas a dry bog becomes a carbon source. In the background is an observation tower which gives good views over the bog.

Glasgow - Old Glasgow scanned from film
Comprehensive redevelopment in Glasgow's Gorbals district in the 1960s and1970s, showing slum clearance and the new high rise flats which replaced many of the tenements. At the back of the tenements you can see the additional brick-built toilet block which gave one communal toilet per landing. Previously, the tenements had no inside toilets and residnets had to go to a hut in the back court. Scanned from a transparency taken by David Palmar.
