Visit Falls of Falloch

Introducing Falls of Falloch

At the northern section of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, the Falls of Falloch is a picturesque 10-metre waterfall near Crianlarich, Scotland. It is surrounded by lush woodland and offers a serene escape. It is also a perfect stop for nature lovers exploring the Scottish Highlands, as it is very close to the A82 and the falls featured in our A82 Road Trip guide.

Parking for Falls of Falloch

The car park is often too small for the number of people who wish to use it, but if full be patient as you may be lucky as people usually don’t spend too long here. Many people stop to stretch their legs and get a quick view of the waterfall before continuing their journey.

Getting to the Waterfall

From the car park, follow the path until it opens out with places to see the falls. It’s a short and pleasant walk through the tree-lined path. Listen out for the noise of the falls as you get closer.

Rob Roy’s Bathtub

The Falls of Falloch is steeped in folklore. Local legend suggests that the pool at the waterfall's base, known as “Rob Roy’s Bath Tub,” was a favourite hiding place of the infamous Scottish outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. With its secluded setting and shimmering waters, you can almost imagine Rob Roy seeking refuge in this natural sanctuary.

West Highland Way

The short film above features Falls of Falloch and includes some dramatic aerial views. It was part of a longer film that we produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the West Highland Way. The path of the 96-mile West Highland Way passes very close to the Falls of Falloch.

Woven Sound

For a unique perspective, visit the Woven Sound, an architectural viewing platform that seamlessly blends into the landscape. Created by artist John Kennedy, this steel structure allows visitors to experience the falls up close while hearing the soothing roar of the water. The platform's intricate latticework symbolises the interconnectedness of nature and human interaction.

Inscribed on the Woven Sound (see below) is an entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's (sister of poet William Wordsworth) diary when she visited the falls in 1803.
