The Falls of Balgy are an impressive series of cascades in the Torridon region of the Highlands. There's a waymarked hike from the Torridon Hotel to access the falls and they can easily be linked with an exploration of the Aird Mhòr peninsula. The sight of salmon leaping upstream during autumn's spawning season is wonderful.
