I got a call yesterday from The E & L Advertiser. Somebody had phoned them to say that the Fairy Loup Waterfall had disappeared and would I go along and take some photographs. This is a photo of the Byreburn about 40 yards above the Waterfall. There has been a hole opened up and the burn is disappearing down it.
This is the Waterfall now with no water running over it.
This is about 400 yards below the Waterfall and where the burn now reappears from a hole at the side of the burn. The water is now much dirtier and the stretch above this is now dry.
The Pool where the burn rejoins the main course of the Byreburn
Downstream with the burn now very brown.
