Finella Den Gorge viewed from the road bridge on the A92, Aberdeenshire This photo shows a view into the Den Finella gorge as seen from the eastern side of the A92 road bridge which crosses over it. Few motorists realise that they are crossing over a waterfall with a 20m sheer drop into the plunge pool below. Two other plunge pools on the seaward side of the gorge mark the line of recession delineated by the waterfall as it retreated inland by the process of headword erosion. The burn is something of a misfit stream as the valley is very deep and it has clearly taken much erosion to create it. The valley was probably created, in part, from meltwater at the end of the ice age.
