The slender Kyle of Sutherland estuary is fed by several great salmon rivers. The River Shin and Shin Falls are the most famous place to watch the fish jumping, but we enjoyed even more sightings (on the same day) at the Achness Falls – also known as the Cassley Falls – on the River Cassley further west. And there’s more to see here than a single fall: a series of cascades and rapids make for a fine walk in one direction, with a minor road used for the other. The Achness Hotel is a short distance into the circuit and serves food – predictably, salmon appears to feature on the menu.
