Highland

The effects of winter's torrents can be seen on all the forest streams, none more so than on Highland Water, which appears to have taken quiet a battering.  Reshaped, redirected and changed, the deeply cutting meanders have been breached at several spots creating new island; islands though that will no doubt be short lived as the old courses become oxbow lakes and then begin to silt up.  The fringes of the streams have been covered with light silts washed down during flooding, in some places these silts extend some way into the adjacent woodlands; a testament to the extent the of flooding endured in recent months.
