caption_attribution_description: English: A photograph of Plains taken by jd2207 from an Edinburgh to London jet plane, April 2003. The view looks to the North. Main Street runs across the middle of the shot. A development of new houses from 2004 / 2005 is yet to be built in the north-east corner. Easter Moffat golf course fills the lower half while the volcanic-like landscape to the top of the image is one of several surrounding open-cast coal mineworks.
