๐Ÿ“Œ Achnacarry, Highland
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

The road bridge over the Abhainn Chia-aig provides a grandstand view for this handsome pair of waterfalls near Achnacarry, fed by water falling on the Loch Lochy Munros. With a car park just metres away and a southerly aspect ideal for photography, it’s perhaps surprising that the falls aren’t better known – especially considering they appeared in the 1995 film Rob Roy. The lower plunge pool is known as the Witches Cauldron, which might suggest it’s not a particularly safe spot for paddling (despite the swimmers in our photo below).

๐Ÿ’ฌ The best viewpoint for the falls is from the roadside. Steep paths also ascend the east bank (climber’s right) to reach higher viewpoints, close to steep drops – care required (โฌค Moderate).
