"...I have lived at Lee Stream for nearly all of my life and I am the fourth generation of Doherty’s to farm in the area.  I have always admired and been proud of the area that I live in, it is a special farming area with its broad rolling ridges nestled in between the Maungatua Range and the Lammermoor Range.  I often admire the view when heading over the hill on State Highway 87 at Traquair, looking through the cultivated farmland with the Lammermoor Range as the backdrop...

A farmer and his wife from the UK stopped to talk to me on the side of the road one day last year and they could not get over how scenic this area is.  Their camera never stopped clicking, and the natural beauty they saw in this farming district overwhelmed them.  Perhaps it isn’t until outsiders remind us of an area’s beautiful landscape that it becomes so important to retain its natural beauty.."
