📌 Timsgearraidh, Isle of Lewis
★★
This pair of waterfalls on the outflow from Loch Slacasbhat are small in height but have a lovely setting, in a rocky ravine backed by the prominent hill of Suaineabhal. Both falls are only a few hundred metres from the nearest road, with a large layby for easy parking.

💬 From the layby it’s a 5-min walk to the waterfalls (⬤ Moderate). The rough path up the left bank of the river forks almost immediately. The right-hand branch leads along the bank to a dead end with a somewhat distant view of the first (lower) fall. The left-hand branch climbs a little to follow the top of the ravine for closer views of both the lower and upper falls.
