A clansman of the Comyns leapt this to escape from Randolphs men. He
jumped from the right to the left.
In spate I have seen the ledge on the right covered with water.!

The result of a spate around early December 2008. Just
as well the two lads had moved on, the bank on the other side of the tree trunk
is littered with the leavings of the rivers fury.

A "bucket bridge" used by fishermen to cross dry shod,
you sit in the bucket and pull ! We have paddled across about
50 yards downstream.
|
|
These slopes are called the Streens they run from Ruthven to Drynachan, here we
are looking west about 1 mile or so from the bucket bridge.

Balnachroick House about 2 miles from a tarred road but first you have
to ford the Findhorn before Dalness then a "cliffside"
track to Drynachan. You hope for good weather before you go
out. The river looks peaceful but can quickly become
a raging torrent as the height of the stone piled at the edges show.
|
|
Looking east 3 miles or so from the bucket bridge, the "
line" three quarters up the picture is the track from Dalness,
the lower sandy area is slippage.

Autumn near Ardclach. Just a hundred yards from where the river roars and tumbles
over rocks. The canoeists start their journey to Sluie here

Daltulich Bridge. This is the second bridge on this spot. When the first fell down
the contractor built another, but he didn't lose on the deal because he had
charged enough to build two..
