Visit Falls of Falloch
The beautiful Glen Falloch Falls are also known as Rob Roy’s Bathtub, due to outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor’s use of the deep pool under the falls.
Where are Falls of Falloch?
Falls of Falloch is a pretty and spectacular waterfall and picnic spot just off of the A82 south of Crianlarich.
We featured the Falls of Falloch on our A82 Road Trip guide, one of the most read articles on this website. The falls are very accessible, look out for the brown sign and turn into the car park by the main road.

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 often don’t spend too long here. In fact, many people choose to stop to stretch their legs and get a quick view of the waterfall before continuing on their journey.
Recently the local authorities have been patrolling the verges on the A82 to prevent it from becoming an overflow for the car park, so don’t be tempted to park outwith the car park.
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 treelined path, listen out for the noise of the falls as you get closer.
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
Another guide on this website that features Falls of Falloch is 5 Special Viewpoints, referencing Woven Sound. The Woven Sound installation allows visitors to enjoy a different viewpoint of the falls. It is part of the series of Scottish Scenic Viewpoint installations, each very different and thoughtful design that complements its surrounding landscape.
The Woven Sound amplifies the sound of the falls, with the platform providing a sheltered and close view of the waterfall.
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.
