Falls of Clyde



Here's a shot of the Falls of Clyde at New Lanark, shot on a reasonably long exposure to get the frothing water to look extra-cool.

Just here, the Clyde is brown so I decided to shoot everything on B&W

Great shot, I really like water and waterfall shots. You wouln't want to fall in though, looks to be a pretty
fast currant.

Really like the shot, the water is looking extra cool!

That looks like a very swollen river, there has been a lot of heavy rainfall all over GB lately .... well it is summer I took a similar shot yesterday in the Yorkshire Dales.

Nice shot of Dundaff Linn there Wintermute.  I've spent many hours in those parts, a beautiful area.

Bonnington Linn (30ft drop) and Corra Linn (90ft drop and considered the actual Falls of Clyde by many) are about an hours walk up river from there and well worth the hike.  Stonebyers Linn is about 3 miles down river, with a weir just before the falls and well worth going to when in spate, it's breathtaking. You can get close to Stonebyers by car, walking the last 1/2 mile or so.

Dale, you're right this is the very bottom so not technically the falls of clyde.

We were going to walk further along but it was a muddy track and I was wearing cream trousers that day so thought it would wait for a better prepared visit

Trust me, it's worth the walk. Funnily enough though, the best time to get pics of the bigger falls is when there is just a little water going over as it's quite easy then to get the cotton wool effect.

Your pic is Dundaff Linn and still considered part of the Falls of Clyde, I think Dundaff has about an 8 foot drop.
