Yet another day of feeling rubbish, although we had managed to do some cycling the previous day. I’ve driven past the Rogie Falls so many times and always meant to visit – today was the day. We decided to park in Contin to hopefully give us a quieter walk.
It was an easy stroll along forestry paths to begin with – there were plenty of folk out but we didn’t see many once we’d left the car park. The views out through the trees were lovely
The path started climbing more steeply along the side of a smaller burn – slow going but I was coping. Malky said he and his parents had managed to get lost along here years ago but we didn’t have any issues!
To reach the Rogie Falls we had to leave the main track and follow a smaller path down towards the falls themselves. This is where all the people were
Rogie Falls – impressive
Across the bridge we found somewhere to sit for a break away from all the people, before I found somewhere else to take waterfall photos from
We slowly retraced our steps back to the main track before branching off shortly uphill – we decided to vary the return route with a visit to Loch na Crann, which was a lovely spot for another breather
After a while we continued along a smaller path to the boathouse (a bit rickety)
Rather than retrace our steps again we picked up a smaller path through the trees which turned out to be a mountain bike trail
Back on the main path it was a lovely forestry walk with some unfortunate uphill sections that Malky helped by pushing me up
The Wyvises were just peeking out over the forest
New growth spurting out of this tree!
“View rock” with views down to Sgurr a’ Mhuillin
From here the path was much more downhill which made me a bit happier
We could see Cnoc Mor & Knock Farrell above Strathpeffer through the trees before the path bent back around towards the car park

Soon we were back at the car – not really a good day for me but lovely to visit some impressive waterfalls!
