Here's an alternate view of the same falls, taken from the same spot. They're the Falls of Dochart, and they run through the small village of Killin. They are lovely.

Short video loop of the white waters of a low wide waterfall. On the left in the foreground is a simple drawn figure sitting on a rock, on the right there are dark trees. Further away on the left are more rocks then some white houses on the riverside street. A small island with large trees is central to the frame, with the water gushing around either side.

For a sense of completion, here's a normal photo of the same view. You can wander all over the falls on the left hand side, and when I was young it was the most exciting and magical place to play.

@eclectech It looks magical. Thanks for sharing!

eclectech, 23 days ago

@flowerpot You're very welcome. It is a really pretty spot!

@eclectech oh that looks like such a good spot for imagining!

eclectech, 23 days ago

@ouinne So, so good!

@eclectech Ahhh, one of my favourite views. And a great bowl of Cullen skink to be had on the left there ;)

eclectech, 23 days ago

@FionaCraig It is such a great spot.

eclectech, 23 days ago

Oh no. That last one wasn't for completion. THIS one is in for completion.

Next to the falls is an old mill with a restored water wheel. How cool is that?!

This photo is taken from where the buildings are in the above photos.

Anyway. That definitely is it now.

A photo looking across a rocky river with tall trees beyond. On the left side of the far bank is an old mill. An inset box on the right, held up by a wee drawn figure, shows the water wheel on the mill going round in a short loop.

@eclectech was there a waterwheel at Dochart?

eclectech, 23 days ago

@drnoble Yeah, that was filmed there. They restored the one in the old mill by the falls a few years back.

@eclectech I didn’t know that, it’s always surprising to find out how many places we previously harnessed renewable power.

eclectech, 23 days ago

@drnoble For a really long time there as well. They think there have been mills there for centuries (the one still standing is a mere couple of hundred years old!)

@eclectech Heads up for the snow capped mountain in the background on the right!

@FionaCraig I think it must be. It's not actually that snowy at the moment, although I did notice a spot of snow still up there as I passed by. I had to dig out an older photo showing the mill, as I thought if I was doing a Falls of Dochart mini-thread it was awful to miss out the water wheel!

@eclectech it's a The Little Prince kind of planet :)
