Loch Lee
This walk visits Loch Lee and then climbs to the stunning Falls of Unich and the Falls of Damff. The walk starts at the parking area at Invermark and follows a footpath along the Water of Lee to the loch, passing the 18th century Invermark Castle on the way. The path continues along the northern end of the Loch before climbing through the beautiful Glen Lee to the Falls of Unich and the Falls of Damff. It's a stunning area with wonderful views of Glen Esk and the surrounding hills and mountains.
Towards the eastern end of the loch you can pick up the Mount Keen Walk. From the summit there are fabulous views back down to the loch.

The Falls of Damff Only the upper portion of the falls is visible. There is a further drop of about 40 or 50 feet. Only approach closely with a good head for heights!
A frozen Loch Lee. The ice extends from the stony shore for around a third of the lochs length. About two inches thick here and firm despite the warm sun. A reminder that it is winter, even if the thin traces of snow around the corrie tops make it look more like April or May.
Falls of Unich. Looking down the first drop of the waterfall from the steep scramble up the west side of the falls.
The Gaelic for loch-le is 'the smooth lake'. The loch was formed by the damming of the Water of Lee forming a reservoir to serve the county of Angus
