Happy International Picnic Day! 🥪

Who doesn't love a picnic? We've found some picnic-related images in our collection, and our first pick is this one of Buckie Braes in Perth. This photograph shows Buckie Braes, a wooded gully on the slopes of Necessity Brae, just west of Craigie Hill. Back when the photo was taken, it was considered to be "A Miniature Highland Glen."
