The Falls of Falloch Scotland are an easy and popular stop in the Trossachs National Park on your way to Glencoe and the isles. The delicate waterfall (on most days) flows in a hidden enchanting pool surrounded by greenery. Below is my guide to help you plan your visit.

It is a very short walk from the carpark to the Falls of Falloch viewing platform.
As you can see in the pictures below, a nice path has been set up:

Admiring the Falloch Falls

First you see it from the front at a higher level. The waterfall from the Falloch river is 9 meter tall (30ft).

Most days it is a gentle flow surrounded by greenery. Quite enchanting! But if you go on a rainy day you could see it roar.

Falls of Falloch at water level

You can walk down to water level.

I have not seen any sign so I guess it is possible to swim in the pool. Just be careful with the current, don't swim when the waterfall is roaring - Some people had to be rescued before... 

And remember this is Scotland: water is cold 🙂

Cages viewpoint of the Falls of Falloch

If you want to get even closer to the waterfall, there is a caged walkway to a viewing platform from where you can see the work of erosion creating the pool.

They do not talk about fairies here (contrary to the Isle of Skye)  but I was half-expecting to see some. LOL
