The glacial meltwater channel is wide, flat and boggy here, and iron oxides are leaching out into the Burn of Gask that drains it, giving the burn a reddish colour. In fact the water is crystal clear and the red is a deposit in the bed of the burn. Or at least it was today, after a spell of dry settled weather.
