📌 Invermoriston, Highland
★★
The translation of the River Moriston from its Gaelic roots into English as River of the waterfalls is a big clue that it might be worth stopping off here. Fortunately most people don’t speak Gaelic and drive right by, ensuring this beauty spot remains relatively quiet by local standards. The burn here tumbles haphazardly across bands of rock in a determined effort to reach nearby Loch Ness. These aren’t the highest waterfalls in the region by any means, but they’re a pleasant place for a short wander. Even the local Highland cows are friendly!

💬 From the car park it’s a 5-min walk to the first set of rapids. Follow the clear path south, parallel to the main road at first but soon heading away to the left. The first rapids appear soon after reaching the river, but it’s worth continuing a little further to explore the rest.
