📌 Crieff, Perth & Kinross
★★
The Falls of Barvick are marked on Ordnance Survey maps near the road up to Loch Turret Reservoir. The clustering of contours looks promising in theory, but thick vegetation and steep ground severely limit views of the falls especially during summer – though there are undoubtedly some impressive single drops somewhere amongst the greenery. If you’re still interested, paths (with “Caution! Steep ground!” signs which involve traversing steep ground to reach in the first place) up both banks join at the top to form an elongated circuit. Visit when vegetation is low and there’s been recent heavy rain to make the effort worth it.
