'There are no suspicious circumstances, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal." Rogie Falls are a series of waterfalls on the Black Water. The falls are about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) northwest of the village of Contin, next to the A835 road. They are a popular tourist attraction on the North Coast 500 road trip, with several forest walks and a bridge. The waterfalls on the Black Water at Rogie can be dramatic, especially after a sustained wet period or when there's snow melt coming off Ben Wyvis.

The series of falls are more than 13 metres in height and a fairly new suspension bridge spans the water below them to give walkers a spectacular view. Elsewhere a man tragically died in a horror blaze at a four-storey building. Around 40 people were forced to leave their homes after the fire broke out in Perth in the early hours of Saturday. 3
