Continue following the river upstream, passing the \u2018Shakin\u2019 Brig\u2019. Carry on all the way to a road, turning right to cross Gannochy Bridge. Here you will find the blue door which you should go through.<\/p>\n<p>Continue along the river, passing a suspension bridge, where you have to go away from the river to cross a small bridge. Return to the riverside, ignoring a path to the right and a little further on turn left at a fork in the path.<\/p>\n<p>As the gorge gets deeper, go left again to walk along a good path below cliffs, which bends round to the right, away from the river, and upwards to a road.<\/p>\n<p>Go right to follow the road for about one and a half miles. At the end go right to walk back towards Gannochy Bridge. Before reaching the bridge, go left to follow a path high above the river again. Carry on to reach fields and continue on the high narrow path. About half a mile after the bridge the path leaves the fence and follows the river.<\/p>\n<p>Continue to the Shakin\u2019 Brig you passed at the start, walk across it and turn left to retrace your steps to Edzell High Street.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0location of the pin on Google Maps is a guide
