The Falls of Falloch – A Waterfall in Glen Falloch
About 0.4 miles on foot.
The Falls of Falloch drop in one white leap into a dark pool in a wooded gorge in Glen Falloch, south of Crianlarich.
A short, well-made path leads to a viewing platform of steel rods built out over the falls. It's an easy hour or two for almost anyone, with lunch at the old Drovers Inn just down the glen.
- Time
- Twenty to thirty minutes: 600 m there and back from the car park to the viewing platform over the falls, with 10 m of climbing. A stroll.

The walk
The Falls of Falloch have a small car park just off the A82, about 5 km south of Crianlarich, with nine spaces including one for disabled drivers. Since July 2026 it takes no motorhomes, caravans or vehicles over 6 metres, and parking on the A82 itself is dangerous and illegal, so come early on a sunny day. A short, well-made path, 600 metres there and back with only 10 metres of climbing, leads to a viewing platform over the gorge, a tunnel of steel rods with a line from Dorothy Wordsworth's 1803 diary set into it.
The River Falloch pours over a rock ledge into a deep, dark pool known as Rob Roy's Bath Tub. Dogs are welcome on the path. Keep children and dogs close by the water's edge.
There are no toilets here.
If it rains
The falls are at their loudest after rain and the path is short and well made, so this works in the wet; the inn is the place to dry off.
Along the way

The Drovers Inn
Lunch
Lunch is at the Drovers Inn, an old stone inn at Inverarnan right on the West Highland Way, about 4 minutes' drive south down the A82. It's open every day from 9am, so it suits an early or a late lunch; ring 01301 263108 to check when the kitchen is serving. Children are welcome. There's parking beside the inn.
