Pools of Dee in the Cairngorms foothills are a misty glen of clear, rock-fringed water and dramatic granite. Best photographed in early morning or late afternoon when low sun cuts through fog and ripples. Expect cool, changeable Highlands weather; plan a walk-in hike via Lairig Ghru, with no ticketing—conditions and footing matter.
