Bracklinn Falls

Bracklinn Falls
Wednesday 25 December 2019

Christmas Day was unusually bright so after breakfast we made a long intended visit to Bracklinn Falls on the River Keltie above Callander. We were the first walkers of the day and were mightly impressed by this local tourist attraction that we have ignored for so many years. The walk through the native woodland to the falls was serene with the morning sun providing a dappled light through the trees. The falls were spectacular in full winter flow but the rocks slippy and there were many flowers and tributes left for the woman who had fallen into the falls during the summer.

We crossed the new bridge and with time on our side completed the longer walk up the Keltie Water and the chance to admire the views to Stuc a' Chroin and Ben Vorlich. On the return down the road Gregor made a detour to Callander Crags and still we were home shortly after noon. Our appetites were set for our first ever vegetarian Christmas.
