Upper Darley Looking west from the road near Upper Darley. The foreground crop is oats, which seem to be less common than they used to be. The hill on the left is the Hill of Tillymorgan, and the distant one to the right is probably in Clashindarroch Forest. This view shows almost all the typical elements of the landscape of rural Aberdeenshire - rolling farmland with a variety of crops, and a backdrop of distant hills.
