This is a county that you cannot help but fall in love with.
The low winter sun illuminates the land with a golden glow, delineating sharply the ridges and furrows of the tree trunks. Towering clouds pile high in a wide spring sky, casting drifting shadows onto the rolling hillsides. After a period of rainfall, the swollen burns rush and tumble down their rock-strewn beds, between slopes covered with bracken, russet in the autumnal light. A sinking sun transforms the river into a purple ribbon that snakes its way between fields inundated with snow. A stream gurgles and splashes beneath the dense foliage of trees, creating a grotto of peace and solitude.
Walking through these landscapes is a delight well worth sharing.
