Back on the Dochart again........


This is looking over towards Kirkton from the south side of the Fillan above Auchreoch. The rain and sleet are clearing here for a minute, and allowing me to get my camera out.......
Nellie & me will hopefully be out tomorrow and we aim to take out a big section further down the glen between Killin and Crianlarich on the south side of the Dochart......getting close to the end now.

It's raining.......


The mountains behind here are completely blotted out by driving sleet and rain.......this was me getting some shelter behind a bank on Auchreoch hill. What a horrible day it was today...........

Auchreoch Sheep


Two more sheeps........


Chewed


This aspen tree has been chewed by animals, maybe a horse in the past.

The hill above Auchreoch


Looks like a willow......

Salmon a Leaping


Here are some photos of salmon leaping at a Perthshire waterfall earlier this autumn. There is a video here as well.
If only we had this number of salmon in our TWCP area.
