Red squirrels and Robert Burns

Up at 7 for my usual balushions. Woody is keen to get out and explore.

We walk the shores of Loch Ness and make the most of the early light to capture a few photos.

After passing the 500MWatt power station that is hydro, we start to climb back up the hillside, using the various network of paths.

Red Squirrels are everywhere, and Woody can't resist chasing a few.  The hill side path takes us to falls stairs that zigzag down.  Woody races ahead but seems very nervous of the increasing loud roar of the falls we are yet to see.


Eventually we reach the upper view point and grab a few photos and then drop down again to the lower view point.


On the way down there are a number of carved slates with poem by Robbie Burns.

I had previously seen photos of a bridge, higher up the falls, so we head of to try and find it. After chasing a few more red tree rats we come across the bridge.  The whole village is powered by a 120 year old hydro system.
