River Shingles

All of the stones here have been swept down in spates and deposited in banks by the River Nairn, deflectting the course of the river away from the middle of its channel.

Toppled Trees

Alder trees growing beside the River Nairn have fallen into the river where the spates of last winter have eaten into the river bank and undermined their roots. They continue to produce leaves for the moment, their roots still being able to take up water.

River Rapids

The River Nairn has undercut the bank here, so the path is now very close to a drop into the river, and the main channel is now very close to the outside of the meander.

Riverside Path

The path here is informal, but enough people must be using it to keep it clear, albeit narrow, between the banks of vegetation.

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)

A fine speciemn of this familiar woodland plant.

River Nairn

The river tumbles over a shallow weir which may not be unconnected to the fishing hut on the opposite bank.

River Nairn

Bright yellow Broom contrasts with the prevailing green beside the River Nairn. This is Graeme's Pool, named after 14-year-old Graeme Moffat. Compare with NH8652 : Graeme's Pool, taken from almost the exact same spot, and marvel at the changes in the last six years or so.

Fallen Trees

These trees' roots have been undermined during one or more spates of the River Nairn. One plus point is that they have created gaps through which one can enjoy unobstructed views of the river.
