A couple of weeks ago we travelled up to Aberdeenshire to stay there for a few nights, on the way up we stopped off at the tiny village of Arbirlot in Angus to see the waterfall there. We had driven past the sign to this place quite a few times but had never noticed it. I bought a Scottish magazine recently and it had an article on waterfalls which were worth seeing, so as we were more or less going past it we thought we might as well take a look at it. It isn’t massive but it is pretty, and quite noisy. We had thought we might have to walk a mile or so from the village to reach the falls but as soon as we got out of the car we could hear them, as you can see from the photo they are situated right by the bridge into the village.
There were a few people already there, a young couple and a family wading further down stream, we didn’t stay there long though as we wanted to get back on the road up to Aberdeen. We had a secondhand bookshop to visit. Annoyingly, when we got there it was shut! We have no luck with that bookshop. However, there was another one in the city and I did well there, so I can’t complain.
I like waterfalls too. There was an Enid Blyton (I always felt the Adventure series was the best of her mystery series) in which the children somehow went behind the waterfall, which fascinated me as a child. Probably very dangerous!
Hope you found something fun at the bookstore!
Constance,
Well I spent over £26 at that bookshop, within about seven minutes, it’s probably just as well it isn’t near where we live! I love waterfalls and stone bridges so this one ticks them both. Do you mean her Famous Five books? I liked those ones but went straight from them to Agatha Christie, possibly when I was too young as it meant I missed out on a lot of books for older children.
Pretty falls!
Stefanie,
Yes pretty, but there are bigger ones around!
