Enarg Falls

Enarg Falls stands in the Highlands where the land rises steeply and the rain falls often. It is one of the many waterfalls formed by Highland rivers that plunge down the rocky slopes. The name comes from the Gaelic word ‘eas’, which is used across the Highlands for waterfalls. The falls are counted among Scotland’s tallest single drops, though the exact height is hard to fix. Highland waterfalls are measured by their largest vertical drop rather than the total length of the cascade. Many falls in the region share this Gaelic naming tradition. Visitors find a narrow gorge lined with dark stone and a powerful stream that drops in a single leap. The surrounding hills are covered in heather and grass, and the spray from the fall keeps the air damp. The path to the viewpoint is rough and climbs beside the gorge, offering views of the water against the grey rock.
