Orphaned Fireplace

I surmise that this is the fireplace and chimney of a railwaymen's wooden hut that has long since vanished.

The Mash Tun

The former Station Bar is a Category C Listed Building. See Link

. The Mash Tun's own web site Link

says, "The building was originally constructed in 1896 by James Campbell, a sea captain, who instructed a marine architect to design the building in the shape of a small ship. A pledge contained in the title deeds, made in 1963 by the owner at the time, states that since Dr Beeching closed the railway in Aberlour then a name change was appropriate - but that if ever a train should pull up at the station again then the pub will revert to the Station Bar".

Water Avens (Geum rivale)

This delicate flower is commonly found in damp places such as the banks of burns and rivers.

Orange Tip Butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines)

The absence of the orange tip that gives the species its name shows that this one is a female, but the underwing is unmistakable.

River Spey at Aberlour

I was a little saddened to see that someone has been gathering and removing the River Water-crowfoot that is currently flowering just upstream from the bridge, but at least they haven't cleared all of it. This was at seven o'clock in the morning. When I returned several hours later the heaps had been removed.

Canoeing on the River Spey

While I was on the river bank I heard the sound of voices, and shortly afterwards this canoe appeared from usptream.

Canoeing on the River Spey

This was the second group of canoes I saw this morning, on their way from Aviemore to Spey Bay. The trip takes four days and involves camping each night.
