Wander through the trees and marvel at Victoria Falls

From the car park there are wonderful views over Loch Maree. Follow the short path to the viewing area to see the falls. They’re named after Queen Victoria, who visited in 1877.

The water tumbling down the falls comes from Beinn Eighe, the mountain to the south of the loch. It’s a National Nature Reserve full of ancient Caledonian Pinewood and mountain environment.
