The White Water tumbles down from its source between the Munro summits of Tolmount and Tom Buidhe in the Mounth region of the Cairngorms National Park. In its lower reaches, it runs alongside Jock's Road, an ancient route between Glen Clova and Braemar. The paths are a delight to explore, while the magnificent Corrie Fee is found just to the west of here.

Lot’s of places along the water to take a rest. Kids had fun throwing stones and making themselves wet (the water was cold 🥶).
