Through the cracks

Frothing waters crash through a narrow ravine at the Linn of Quoich waterfall, near Braemar in Aberdeenshire, where centuries of erosion have worn a perfect circle in one of the rock shelves beside the river. The Earl of Mar is said to have filled it with spirits to toast the Jacobites way back in 1715 and it is still known as the Punch Bowl, although it is now bottomless so can no longer be filled to raise a glass to rebels.
