    Loch na Gainmhich is a stunning little freshwater loch not far from the road, it's well worth the push or walk across to see it. The waterfall has several names, but Wailing Widow refers to the story that a young hunter fell to his death over the cliff, his mother (the widow) went to see the place of her son’s death and threw herself over the cliff in grief.
