As described on walkhighlands.co.uk, Big Burn walk is Golspie's hidden gem: "a spectacular short walk up a gorge criss-crossed by footbridges and ending in a waterfall".
The Skating Pond and its surroundings on the way back are another highlight. Enjoy :-)

Route to the waterfall is closed due to storm damage.

Everything repeats itself 😄 - while waiting for Dunrobin Castle to open today, we made another completely unexpected discovery.

In Golspie, there's the Big Burn Walk, which starts at a small parking lot at the edge of the village and, after a few steps, leads into a scenic paradise.
