Eas Chlianaig

Eas Chlianaig is a waterfall in the Scottish Highlands, where steep valleys and heavy rain create many falls. It stands near the west coast, where rivers plunge sharply down the mountains. The name comes from Gaelic, with ‘eas’ meaning waterfall and ‘Chlianaig’ marking the place. The falls are among Scotland’s highest single drops, though measuring waterfalls can be tricky. Some lists count the tallest single fall, while others add smaller drops together. Eas Chlianaig appears in local maps and guides to the region’s waterfalls. Visitors reach the falls along rough paths through the hills. The sound of water fills the valley as the river crashes over the edge. From the bottom, the full height of the drop is clear against the steep rock walls. The surrounding moorland and distant peaks add to the wild scenery.
