The Corkscrew


Beautiful day again today so I a took quick run up the 'Corkscrew' as it is called. This little known road is only 1/2 a mile from Evergreen and, in a very short distance, spirals up several hundred feet to a rocky outcrop from which there are wonderful views down Loch Ness. I absolutely love this route despite the fact that it was on the rocks here six years ago that I had a serious climbing accident! The road was built in 1815 by Lord Woodhouselee of Aldourie and apart from now being a tarmac road I guess it has not changed much.. The photo is the view in spring from top of the Corkscrew.
