  • Ochils over Dollar

    Ochils over Dollar

    An autumn stroll above the Ochils Dollar in Clackmannanshire. Castle Campbell (aka Castle Gloom) looks over the Forth Valley. Midday sun in November brought the colours to life as a mist creeps along the river Forth in the valley below.

    I’m not apologising for more shots of this great glen. Dollar Glen in Clackmannanshire. Topped-off with Castle Campbell.

     

     

     

     

     

  • Autumn in Dollar Glen

    Autumn in Dollar Glen

    Dollar Glen is a beautiful gorge set into the eastern flank of the Ochils. At the head sits Castle Campbell. A 15th century tower built for the Campbells of Argyll (who fought their neighbours, the Clan Lamont in 1645-46).

    The glen is at its best in Autumn with a range of trees producing a fantastic display of colour. Couple that with spectacular views from the Castle, it makes for a rewarding family walk.
