As one moves along the road just before it makes the steeper drop, one can look right across at the wide and mighty form of Ben Lawers. And yes, that's snow you see up yonder!
From here, heading down to the old bridge, there are many viewpoints for the falls. It's a trendy tourist spot, so getting shots without strangers littering the view can be challenging, but I didn't do too badly. There were no kayakers on the day of my visit, but it is a popular spot for this sport.
As one crosses the bridge and before turning further down the hill, there is the water mill to visit. Unfortunately, whenever I am there, it's not open, but one of these days...!!! Beside the entry, it is guarded by a sculpture of the wolf that is said to have been brought to heel by St Fillan as he was building the first church in the area. The mill itself was built by the Marquis of Breadalbane in the mid-19th century and was a yarn mill. When it ceased spinning, it became an outlet for selling wool. Now, it is a heritage centre focused on local history and legend.
