The Colonels Bed Gorge

The gorge itself runs deep below the line of trees here in the valley.

The Colonels Bed comes from an old story that a colonel murdered the husband of his lady-love, then took to flight, hiding deep in this gorge (see PiP), inside a cave next to the river. His lover brought food to him there for some time before he was discovered and met his fate.

This is about 3 miles NE of Braemar.

Great that you like this one Jeff. It was a wild walk and the Gorge was pretty good but dicey to walk around. and not the best place for photos. This is wild stag country.

That's quite a story! Two excellent shots. I love the PiP with that superb light and looks so good in portrait mode. Cheers, Rosa.

Thank you my dear friend. So glad that you like both of these shots. I did wonder about keeping the portrait one as a PiP.

Best Wishes, Herb
