5½ pounds of Brambles (blackberries) picked yesterday on the Isle of Cumbrae and today on my home turf in Bridge Of Weir. Going to collect some cooking apples this afternoon and make about 5 jars of Bramble jelly hopefully. 14th September 2014, Scotland.

On the path up the Cobbler from Arrochar grow a number of these Blackthorn trees (prunus spinosa) producing sloes in the Autumn. Not something I'd like to fall into while coming down the path in the dark. Scotland December 2006.
