    Loch na Gainmhich is on the road between Loch Assynt and Kylesku and is a popular destination for hikers and fishermen. There is a car park at the north end and very close to the hole, the Eas a 'Chual Aluinn, Britain's highest waterfall, plunges into the depths.

      The loch has some parking next to it and is very beautiful to see. Close by the top of the wailing widow falls can be viewed, and the loch makes a good starting point to walk to the top of the tallest waterfall in Britain, Eas a' Chual Aluinn.

        A great place to enjoy a view of Quinag. You can also see the top of the Wailing Widow falls from here.
