Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

This is a trip we have been meaning to do for a couple of years ever since guests at Aspenwood told us about these dramatic waterfalls. We drove round Loch Ness to Inverness and on to Drumnadrochit. Here we took the 831 to Cannich. Instead of taking the right hand turn to picturesque Glen Affric we turned left at the signposted road to Plodda Falls. A very twisty turny road led us eventually to the car park. We could hear the falls as we walked down towards them and they were certainly well worth the visit. The water plunges about 100feet down into a bubbling steamy mass and eventually feeds into the River Glass. The sun came out so we sat at the picnic tables and enjoyed our lunch sharing it with the cheeky chaffinches. Thanks Elaine and Ian..
