Unusual gate near Lumsden?
Anyone know where this was taken and whether it still exists?
The tunes look like two waltzes, perhaps one Polish and one Scottish?

Dtan Klimkowski made this gate. The music is the first line of the polish national anthem and the second is the Flower of Scotland.

I remember these gates the Klimkowski's were friends of my mum and dad (Jock & Lybbie Gibb from Donview) l think l have photos of their daughter Anne's wedding.

The Eagle (left) and Thistle (right) further emphasise the Polish/Scottish linkage. Altogether a most artfully designed object.

This confirms your photo as the access to Lintaugh Farm from A97, and proves the fancy gate has been replaced.
