The Glen Affric division of the Forestry Commission of Scotland has two waterfalls that were easy an hike through "Ancient Caledoian pinewoods within an iconic National Nature Reserve." They were several miles apart, so we drove to their parking areas before starting our hikes. We weren't interested in a 12 mile circuit!
We first drove to Plodda Falls, down a forestry road with enormous potholes from the large logging trucks. It was rough, but not more so than our road at home. It was juggling around the potholes on a one lane road that made for interesting driving.

| Amazing mushrooms! |
 |
| The ferns are as tall as me! |
 |
| The lower lookout had these enormous tree roots to maneuver over. They were also very wet. |

The upper lookout was set over the falls. It was dizzying looking over at the water falling. Unfortunately, Blogger won't allow us to post videos.

| Looking over the top vista point at the water falling down; makes one dizzy! |
Back at the parking lot, a snazzy convertible was parked next to us. We considered trading, but they hadn't left a key.

| With the top down, the wind would have blown my perfectly coiffed hair. Oops, I must be thinking of someone else. |
