Starting to think that this is the best option, having spent ages honing down the alternatives. Really difficult to decide but this one has an Eildon in the background and has a lovely pleasant feel to it.

Reading up on hyperfocal distance yesterday it seems that I've been setting the aperture too small, which doesn't necessarily increase sharpness throughout the depth of field as the light defracts more the smaller the aperture. f8 or f16 would be adequate, which would explain why the photos at Melrose were a bit soft.
