Woman (23) dies after Rogie Falls incident near A835
A WOMAN has died after falling into the water at a Ross-shire beauty spot.
A massive emergency services response to yesterday’s incident at the Rogie Falls area included police, fire, ambulance and mountain rescue team personnel.
The response was triggered by a report of a woman having fallen into the water at around 1.45pm.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 1.45pm on Saturday, June 14, we were called to a report of a woman having fallen into water in the Rogie Falls area of Wester Ross
“Emergency services attended however the 23-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
“There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
The area is popular with locals and visitors alike boasting a number of waymarked walks and some stunning scenery.
From the Rogie Falls car park, off the A835 Tore to Ullapool road, waymarked forestry walks allow visitors to explore the woods between the roadside and the bridge.
One trail leads straight to the bridge offering a look at the falls, while the longer Riverside Trail takes a more meandering route with viewpoints and a close-up look along the water’s edge.
