Experts at GO Outdoors ranked the top 15 most beautiful waterfalls in the UK and the Falls of Glomach in the Scottish Highlands won second place being bested only by High Force in County Durham.
Other Scottish waterfalls appeared on the list like Steall Falls in Glen Nevis but as a country that has already been recognised by UNESCO (with many other natural locations considered for UNESCO heritage) Scotland has yet more beautiful waterfalls on offer that are worth a visit.
Here is our pick of thirteen beautiful Scottish waterfalls that are worth a visit.
9. Den of Finella, Aberdeenshire
This is a beautiful but mysterious place as the waterfall is surrounded by overhanging rocks. Named after Lady Finella who is said to have killed King Kenneth II after he murdered her son. She then jumped into the waterfall to escape capture. This 65 feet drop is hidden away behind St Cyrus and Johnshaven. Photo: Peter Robinson via Geograph
10. Falls of Foyers, Highlands
This is one of the prettiest falls in the Highlands. Robert Burns wrote a poem about the “roaring Foyers” which are 165 feet high. It's a short but spectacular steep walk downwards to the gorge and there are several viewing points. You can continue down the walk to the shores of Loch Ness. There's a handy shop and Waterfall Cafe at the top of the walk by the car park. Photo: Peter Coughlan via Canva Pro
11. Falls of Measach, Highlands
These falls are in the Corrieshalloch Gorge which means Ugly Hollow in Gaelic. This spectacular 150 drop near Ullapool can be viewed from a Victorian suspension bridge over the narrow canyon that's not for the faint-hearted. Down river there's an unforgettable view from a cantilevered viewing platform. Photo: Alex Berger via Flickr
12. Plodda Falls, Glen Affric
The Plodda falls are some of the most spectacular and accessible of Scottish waterfalls. Just a short walk from the car park at Tomich, south of the unmissable Glen Affric. These twisty falls are 151 feet high. There's a cantilevered viewing platform to see the falls from dizzying heights. Photo: ambrosiauk via Canva Pro
