"Traitors Country" with Ardross Castle nearby. The beautiful valley of the River Averon or Alness, Easter Ross, Scotland.
Commentary.
There are literally hundreds of vibrant, splendid rivers
and valleys in the Highlands like this one, the valley of the River Averon or Alness.
Its source rises in the massif known as Ben Wyvis, 1,043 metres.
It largely flows eastwards below the impressive and now famous Ardross Castle, where the UK version of “The Traitors” is filmed.
It veers southwards and reaches the Cromarty Firth near Alness, hence, one of its two popular names.
As with so many Scottish rivers, in flood, it can move large boulders, that are scattered along its shores in times of low rainfall.
The valley is surrounded by hills, therefore the river is fed by numerous tributaries some cascading down mini-gorges.
Everywhere is resplendent with mature coniferous and deciduous trees.
The river meanders like a blue serpent through patches of meadow and fields of pasture, fodder and arable crops.
Easter Ross has Highland scenery to match the best of Perthshire and the Cairngorms.
