Just impressive! At 200 meters high, Eas a ’Chual Aluinn is the highest waterfall in the UK. Several small streams from the surrounding moors form its tributary. At the foot of the cliff, the water of the waterfall flows into the Amhainn stream at Loch Bhig, which flows about two kilometers to the northwest into Loch Glencoul.

Hiking

to get here from the roadside car park, boggy land is traversed and waterproof footwear is recommend. we walked in Jun 23 after 7weeks unusually dry weather and it was still causing wet socks! Other parts higher up mostly dried out.
