This afternoon we walked up the Glen Massan road past what I think of as the three cataracts (as on the Nile …). The noise from the river as we approached the final steep bit of the gorge was thunderous, and tempted me down the muddy path through the trees to where I could stand right at the water's edge at its fiercest part. I made a video as well as this, but the picture will have to suffice here.

Ten minutes' walk had us in the wide spaces of the hanging valley, where the river was flat and broad and made not a sound as it powered along.
