Red Fall (Explored, Thanks)
This very green, lush spot gets its name from the Old Red Sandstone rock over which it tumbles. It sits in a remote, tucked out of the way corner of moorland near the Highland Boundary Fault at Conic Hill. I opted for a 2km walk across pathless, boggy, tussocky moorland, trampled by highland cattle rather than a 5km walk along paths & tracks. It was surprisingly rough going and the small 3 metre fall felt like poor recompense. I'd been intrigued by the name and description since I 1st came across it 4yrs ago in a book on Scottish waterfalls and had been wanting to visit ever since. I don't think I will be back for a while if ever although there are a couple of remote hill tops behind it that are like beacons to lovers of lonely places. The moorland around here has numerous secretive glacial erratics hiding in the long grass. I checked for ring & cup markings but never saw any.
