📌 Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire
★★
This rarely visited but surprisingly accessible waterfall on the Banton Burn tumbles off the Kilsyth Hills: an eastern continuation of the better known Campsie Fells. The waterfall is conveniently close to the old Tak-Ma-Doon road pass, which provides the entertaining access route.

💬 From the car park it’s a 5-min walk to the waterfall. Follow the road uphill a short distance until it bends left. Step over the low fence / wall on the right, continuing ahead on faint, grassy paths to the foot of the waterfall.
