北西ハイランドの滝・トップ20

Small waterfall

The double waterfall falls approximately 12 meters before falling another 6 meters into the Witch's Cauldron. A charming fairy story is attached to the falls. The cattle in the district were suffering from an unexplained malaise and the Camerons consulted a seer about it. The seer attributed the malaise to an old hermit woman who lived beside the lake and said that it would persist until the witch was killed. The Camerons therefore sought her out at her cottage, but when they got there all they found was a cat which they set upon and wounded. However, it escaped and they followed the trail of blood to the Chia-aig Falls where they found the dying cat. They were about to finish the wretched animal's life when it let out a terrifying scream and leapt into the pool. As it leaped, it changed into the witch they were looking for. The Camerons stoned the old hag to death and the malaise did not recur.

Path on top can be very soggy (rather a marsh), so make sure to have adequate footwear. Same goes for the path from top to bottom, better to use the road when wet. Path at the bottom of the falls is better but it's scrambling and can be slippery too. But the view is worth it, beautiful waterfall.

It has quiet a few steps so bring something to drink.
