5 miles from home

July 29, 2025 3:48pm CST
A few people have asked me about the countryside around where we live One who springs to mind is @Tampa_girl7 So I thought I would take some pictures from near where we live and post about them So these views are from 5 miles from our front door Actually this is only 4 miles out of our small town on the back road to a town called Forfar. On the way to Forfar is also Davidson Cottage - the father of one of the boys who formed Harley Davidson lived in it before emigrating to America. It's in a place called Aberlemno. Also another really famous guy also lived on this route, Sir Robert Watson-Watt. He was the radio direction finding and Radar guy. He basically invented Radar. So there's two really famous dudes who lived out on this back road to small town heaven from small town heaven. Wanna see some pictures

I'd even like to see some pictures from inside of town. Call it our little virtual visit to Scotland. I have always heard it's a beautiful place.

Wow, the place is vast. What do they plant in the fields? It's a nice view - very tranquil, and yes, great for motorbiking with the gentle breeze blowing against your face.

The whole area is a scenic. Angus is known as Scotland's Birthplace. I assume because God put Adam and Eve here. Although these days it's Adam and Steve

Maybe that is why the place is so nice, it is just saying they got 2 famous people! I know Harley-Davidson Bikes even though I don't know how to drive, lol! The first time I saw your photo, it crossed my mind if the place is real. It's so majestic, it's so beautiful!
