A weekend of gorge walks, Edzell and Glenisla 19 and 20th 01/19

After seeing the Rocks of Solitude route on Walkhighlands, we headed up to Edzell. There was mention that part of the path was closed due to erosion, there were no definite indications as to which part this was. We started the route in Edzell walking up the left bank of the River Esk but soon had to turn back as there was a barrier blocking the way. We retraced our steps then crossed the river on the shakin' bridge to continue on the right bank. After a while this path got more treacherous with felled trees and was getting narrower, so we headed back to the car to start again from the blue door at Gannochy. This part of the walk was much more enjoyable all the way up the side of the gorge.

A much shorter walk this time to the Reekie Linn waterfall at Glenisla, well worth the trip to see it.
