The Falls of Bruar waterfall is a Highland beauty spot set in the heart of Perthshire. It is a must for any visitor to Scotland. It was formed during the Ice Age when rushing water wore away layered rocks and harder seams shaped the area.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

It is set behind the House of Bruar shopping centre car park and is clearly signposted. The two mile path up to the bridge is very steep and arduous and only really suited to those fit enough to climb and sadly not suited for disabled people. There are two marked routes depending on your time and ability. The longer route takes you to this ancient bridge, the second of two which gives great views and photo opportunities. There are several wooden benches and a picnic area as places of rest and contemplation. The postcode for your sat nav is PH18 5TW and it is just off the A9.
Please note that the area can be slippery when wet and there are sheer drops to the gorge so care is needed and children should be supervised. This is a view of the rock pool arch.
There are fine examples of fir, spruce, larch and Scots pine trees along this Glen Garry route and plenty of wildlife and birds darting about the bracken. We saw this beautiful Robin.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

An army veteran moves his family back to his Aberdeenshire home, but his nightmare neighbour starts a battle of wits with him. Who will win this One Last War?

The original trees and bushes were planted by John Murray the 4th Duke of Atholl in 1796. Because of this he was nicknamed Planter John. He did this in memory of Robert Burns who visited the area in 1787 and described the area as exceedingly picturesque and beautiful but in need of trees. He then wrote the poem The Humble Petition of Bruar Water which beseeched this to the Duke, who duly obliged.
The area was harvested for wood during World War Two and replanting started soon after.
The food hall sells an extensive range of homemade meals, snacks and drinks. There are public toilets in the complex. Other shops include an art gallery and a fishing shop.
We visited the area whilst staying at the Pitlochry Hydro Hotel and other places to visit include Blair Castle and Diana Grove with Hercules Garden, Pass of Killiecrankie, Scottish Crannog Centre, Loch of Lowes Osprey, Dunkeld Cathedral, Beatrix Potter Garden, Queen's View, Rannoch Moor Train Station, The Hermitage, Atholl Country Life Museum and Ossian's Hall and Cave.
