Some areas of Scotland are renowned for magnificent autumnal colours, and nowhere more so than in the Trossachs.  The weather this year has produced some spectacular golds, oranges, and browns in the foliage of this well-wooded area.

Earlier in the year, we took a trip to explore the Bracklinn Falls near Callander, about a 35-minute drive from Appletree Cottage. We had heard that the falls could be quite spectacular when the river was in spate. And we were not disappointed. Impressive boulders and rocks surround the site, bearing testimony to the force of the water over thousands of years. Slightly further downstream, we come to the Bracklinn Bridge.  The current one is at least the fourth structure.
