The Vat is an impressive waterfall into a pothole which probably formed after the retreat of the last ice age.

It's a short walk from the car park. There is a scramble through the burn and under a chokestone. Therefore best avoided after heavy rain.
There are other walks here too, for example around Loch Kinord or up the hill to make a bigger outing.

An interesting rock formation which is much larger than you would expect. A path from the car park is easy to follow but can be muddy in places.
