Accommodation seems easy enough to find in most of these smallish villages along the river estuary. Aberdour has a train line and station running through it. These villages tend to have a main through road with basic essential shops. They are quaint places and nice to see

Looking down and around Stenhouse Reservoir from this elevated double track. Good views in many directions can be seen. The reservoir seemed low on water as the banks were quite wide on the day, showing the silt
