Yesterday Peter and Bill and I went for a walk. A very interesting walk. A most enjoyable walk. We walked from Callander town centre (where the friends I'm staying with live) up to the Bracklinn Falls on the Keltie Burn and then back through the woods to the end of the town and back along the old railway track.

The new Keltie Bridge opened in November 2010, the original bridge having been swept away by flash floods in 2004. This 20 tonne bridge made of local Larch and four 12 metre long Douglas Fir trunks was brought to the site in sections, constructed on site and winched across by hand. |
