Wednesday 30/12/2015 8.08am - Ballater - River Dee by Cornellan Square

Venturing down towards the caravan park, I stopped by the reception centre.  It was so dark, you could not see much at all but you could hear the roar of the river.   Decided it was unwise to proceed any nearer the river Dee via this route.   Went back through to Bridge Street and on to The Royal Bridge.

It was still very dark.  In this picture you can make out the wall and house on the right which is part of the Cornellan Square development.

Walking up to the steps that usually lead to the riverside path, the water could be seen lapping the third step from the top.
