Perpetual Change
The River Devon (Clackmannanshire, Scotland)
Six miles from its confluence with the River Forth, the source of the River Devon is high in the Ochil hills.
The river flows through the Ochils in Glendevon, before turning through 180 degrees at Crook of Devon to flow westwards below the main Ochils escarpment past the hillfoot villages of Dollar, Tillicoultry, Alva and Menstrie.
The lower stretches hold migratory salmon and sea-trout as far as the Cauldron Linn waterfall which acts as a barrier preventing further passage.
Much of the landscape is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
This ancient semi-natural woodland supports predominately ash, sessile oak, alder and beech as well as diverse ground flora.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.
