Waterfall in Fairy Glen

The glen gets its name from an old tradition. Every Sunday, the children of the village of Rosemarkie would gather in the glen, at the site of a spring. They would tidy up the pool area around the spring and sprinkle flower petals on it as a gift to the fairies. The fairies in return would ensure a good clean supply of water for the village.
