This is one of the few spots with a view of the river that is not partly obscured by trees.

Forest Installation

This curious structure is at a crossroads in Logie Wood. My companions speculated that it is a play area for the amusement of children bored with walking.

Woodland Path

This is the upper, and thus at this time of year sunnier, of the paths on the east side of the Findhorn gorge between Logie and Sluie.

The path emerges here into a clearing from which there are fine but unphotographable views straight into the sun of the Findhorn gorge. This is looking back to the north.
