Photographers are being encouraged to focus on wildlife as part of a competition launched on 16th April.The winner will have a chance to capture shots of altogether different animals if they win the prize of a holiday for two, to see the scenery and endangered wildlife in Malaysia.

As an experiment last summer a number of small information boards were put out on the Lein beside selected plants and flowers.  The boards contained a photograph of the plant/flower and a short text describing interesting or unusual details about it.

The boards seemed to meet with widespread approval from users of the Lein, so this summer it is hoped to repeat the experiment and increase the number of plants covered.

Built in the 1890’s, the tower is an early example of 19th century concrete construction. This Category C Listed building stands in a prominent position above the village and has graced Garmouth’s skyline for more than 100 years.
