WHEN Storm Ciara battered Scotland, it caused chaos to travel routes and left people stranded as public transport was cancelled.
But one of the more exciting things to emerge from the storm was the upwards waterfall which one Twitter user spotted in the hills near Glasgow.
Jenny's Lum in the Campsie Fells is normally a pretty standard waterfall, with the water ... well, falling.

When Derek Fable was on the hills however, he saw something quite different. The wind was so strong that it was blowing the water back up the waterfall, making it look more like a plume of smoke.

This isn't the first time Scottish wind has defied gravity, with areas in Skye commonly receiving strong enough blasts that the waterfalls often reverse.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
