Wire bridge over the Tarf Water, 1978 Situated where the path on the north bank meets the track from Glen Tilt on the south bank. Fortunately I didn't need to try it out, keeping to the south bank on my route to Glen Bruar.

Tarf Water The river speeds up as it leaves the flat area upstream. Soon it will plunge to the Tilt. As well as the path marked on the map, there has been some ATV traffic here, due to the legal requirement to check a Larsen trap daily.

Victoria's viewpoint Local tradition has it that Queen Victoria (who occasionally visited the Atholl estates before Balmoral was built) used to enjoy sitting here with a view of the River Tilt in one direction and a waterfall on the Allt Uamhraich in the other.

Straight river In this section of Glen Tilt the river runs as straight as a die, almost as though it has been canalised. (But it hasn't. This is one of the few big rivers in the Highlands that has no hydro-electric workings on it.) The reason it runs so straight is that it is following the line of the Loch Tay geological fault.

New track beside the Tarf Water This has recently appeared running up the north side of the Tarf. Hopefully it will not be extended much further into this wild place. (Having said this, the Tarf must be one of the biggest unexploited hydro electric resources in the Highlands and is no doubt being regarded by envious eyes, drawing their plans)

A rocky step in the Tarf Water A band of quartzite and rapids, just visible through the cloud. This is a glen at hill top height.
