View from the car park in Traquair This photograph was taken from the car park in the small village of Traquair in the Scottish Borders region. It shows an interesting and distinctive weather vane and a horse peacefully grazing in the field beyond the car park. In the background of the picture Taniel Hill and Taniel Burn Wood can be seen. The Southern Upland Way, a long distance footpath, passes by the car park as it makes its way from Dumbetha Knowe to Blake Muir.
