Vertical aerial photographs (RAF 106 G/Scot/UK 121 frames 4144-5: 20 June 1946) record an extensive area of contour cultivation over steep W-facing slopes of Kip Knowe between two tributaries at the head of the Atton Burn. The area has since been afforested destroying all trace of the cultivation which covered an area measuring between 120m to 230m from N to S by between 70m to 280m. The aerial photographs suggest that the cultivation overlay, and largely destroyed the lower part of an extensive area of contour cultivation (NT82SW 183) on the slopes above.
