Where to Photograph Waterfalls in Scotland

We are attempting to list all places where photographers can photograph waterfalls within Scotland. This is the start of a list that will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information.

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked this links to a Location page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.

Codes: FC = Forestry Commission, Wiki = Wikipedia, NTS = National Trust of Scotland, BE = Britain Express

Falls of Clyde  The Falls of Clyde comprise the upper falls of Bonnington Linn, Corra Linn, Dundaff Linn, and the lower falls of Stonebyres Linn. Corra Linn is the highest, with a fall of 90 feet. Bonnington Linn (fall of 30 feet), Corra Linn and Dundaff Linn are above New Lanark and located within the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. The Clyde walkway  long distance path passes all four falls and ends at Bonnington Linn.

A report read " YETHOLM FALLS: Now that the water levels in the Bowmont have returned more or less to normal after the recent floods, the river has, however, changed its course in several places. One of these is in the Venchen Haugh where the water now runs closer to Kirk Yetholm and a new waterfall has developed."  Kirk Yetholm = Grid ref NT8228


This list will continue to grow as we come across new places. REMEMBER if know of somewhere that you feel is a good place please let us know.
