Panorama of Lower Falls on the River Affric, Glen Affric (Gleann Afraig), Highlands, Scotland
After spending the night at the bottom of the Glen in the small town of Cannich we made our way to Glen Affric early and spent a glorious day amongst the trees and mountains of the Glen. After taking some images of these falls earlier in the day, we were just about ready to start our journey to Glencoe when the evening sky started to bristle with colour.
We made our way back down to the falls and captured this image. It is a six image panorama (portrait format) and was captured at the height of the colour.
Glen Affric (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Afraig) is a glen south-west of the village of Cannich in the Highland region of Scotland, some 15 miles (25 kilometres) west of Loch Ness. The River Affric runs along its length, passing through Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin. A minor public road reaches as far as the end of Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin, but beyond that point only rough tracks and footpaths continue along the glen.
Often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland, Glen Affric contains the third largest area of ancient Caledonian pinewoods in Scotland, as well as lochs, moorland and mountains. The area is a Caledonian Forest Reserve, a national scenic area and a national nature reserve, as well as holding several other conservation designations.
The forests and open landscapes of the glen, and the mountains on either side, are a popular destination for hikers, climbers and mountain bikers.
