Eas Mòr

Eas Mòr is a waterfall on the Duirinish peninsula of Skye in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. It stands on the Allt Mhicheil, a small stream that feeds the Dibidal River below Healabhal Bheag. The land around it is wild and uninhabited, with no roads or buildings nearby. A second fall marks where the Dibidal River meets the sea at Geodha Mòr north of MacLeod’s Maidens. The name comes from Gaelic and means simply ‘big waterfall’. The walk to Eas Mòr follows rough paths through open moorland and heather slopes. The fall itself is not large, but it drops in two clear steps over dark rock into a deep pool. The sound of water fills the glen on windless days. Visitors rarely come, so the place keeps its quiet even in summer. The setting is remote, with views across the Minch to the mainland hills. The river valley is lined with ferns and bog cotton in season. Nearby cliffs drop steeply to the sea, adding to the sense of isolation. The whole area feels older than the 19th century maps that first marked it.
