From the A9 , north or south , take the turnoff which is signposted Blackford, continue straight through the town to the level crossing. Park here.
Then by foot , cross over the crossing, take the road immediately on the left, a few yards further on ( as the road bends away ) access can be gained through the field (public right of way) then either climb up the hill or continue along the 'path' to your chosen spot . If you go beyond the first style other pictures ( not shown ) can be obtained.

Light is best from town side of the level crossing , most of the day. From the path / hill location you are against the light. Having said that, very good shots can still be obtained.
Those wishing to video would be better off at the hill location, though the road at the crossing is steady rather than busy for traffic, there can be a fair amount of lorries going into the adjacent ' Spring water' warehouse.

It is worth noting that all featured pictures were taken between 10.45 and 12.45
