A week after my visit to the large aspen stand in the River Cannich gorge, I spent a day in Glen Strathfarrar. As it turned out, it was another day in which most of my time and attention was taken up by aspen trees (Populus tremula). It was still the first half of October, and as aspen leaves change colour in autumn before most other trees, they were the most brilliant and spectacular trees on this day in Strathfarrar.
