Linn O’ Quoich waterfall, Cairngorms

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

Linn o' Quoich doesn't get the attention of the more famous Linn o' Dee, further west along the River Dee. Part of that difference in popularity is simple ease of access; it takes more determination to get to the end of the minor road from Linn o' Dee back east along the north bank of the river to a small parking area. From the car park trails lead uphill, following Quoich Water, past a series of lovely waterfalls and the aptly named 'Punch Bowl'. This is magnificent Cairngorms scenery, and yet at almost any time of year you will have very little company.
