Pink boulders at bend in Water of Caiplich in Cairngorm National Park Pink rock in this geologic area is unremarkable but I was intrigued by their concentration at this point in the river. Probably most of the rocks for the length of the course are this colour but these ones have been more recently polished by violent water movement in this location.
