Waterfall Diaries Part 5 Bruar Falls

[Davie Hudson]

Any waterfall that prompts the great Robert Burns to write a poem about it deserves to be in this list, though in saying that Burns poem wasn’t all good in that he loved the falls themselves but he thought the area was barren, the lack of trees bothered him and therefore he wrote the poem “The Humble Petition of Bruar Water to the Noble Duke of Atholl”.

And, by the look of it, they plated a few trees in response! This is a very nice shot of an interesting place. I like the way you have left a bit of mystery about the pool below the falls and I like the peaty colour of the water in the foreground.

yeah over 120,000 trees were planted in this area, the duke of atholl got the nickname Planter John because over his entire estate there were 1.5 million trees planted in his lifetime ... there is another photo in the article itself if you follow the link

As always, an excellent article and images to match.
