About

Quick facts: It is the second highest waterfall in Scotland with a 120-meter drop. It is located in a spectacular valley surrounded by three peaks that create a unique natural adventure atmosphere.

Highlights: A cool secret is that the hike to get there includes crossing a cable suspension bridge that adds an extra touch of excitement. The roar of the water falling with force and the cool mist create landscapes that seem straight out of a fantasy movie.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy hiking boots; the terrain can be slippery and rocky.
Bring a camera with good stabilization to capture the fog and water droplets.
Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the soothing sound of the water.
Cross the bridge when there are not many people for a safer and more enjoyable experience.
