Both looking familiar to here as well... You mentioned rhody as a "pest" plant? Does it really grow that way there? Here Scotch Broom seems it can live almost everywhere -- and does! Clashes a bit when you find it with a native patch of rhody though...

Wildside, I have identified from a book the white stuff as being 'upright hedge parsley', I am not 100% sure thats it but it looks the most similar. the rhody in the picture is in my friends garden but yes, it is taking over hillsides and while quite beautiful when in flower it is not native and doesn't support the wildlife or other plants so the 'reforesting scotland' projects are removing it to plant native trees.
