Waterfall in the Fairy Glen The top of the Fairy Glen path.  The log just appearing at the left of the picture is heavily studded with coins.  Lots of melted coloured wax on some of the rocks in the glen, and a few twig pentagrams hanging up too.  Strange place.

Waterfall in Fairy Glen The glen gets its name from an old tradition. Every Sunday, the children of the village would gather in the glen, at the site of a spring. They would tidy up the pool area around the spring and sprinkle flower petals on it as a gift to the fairies. The fairies in return would ensure a good clean supply of water for the village.

Single Track road descending to Fortrose A small road wends its way over the top of the Black Isle then suddenly drops down steeply. A fantastic view across the farmland opens up, down to Fortrose, Chanonry Point, Fort George and beyond.
