Burn of Lunklet

Its old Norn name, Ramnahol, means the pool of the ravens, after the birds that once nested on its banks; the burn tumbles over a rock shelf between steep banks into a dark, peaty pool.

The walk is short, about 1.2 kilometres there and back, on a core path with some steps and a few muddy stretches, and takes ten or fifteen minutes each way. Go after heavy rain to see the falls at their best. The banks by the waterfall are steep and slippery, so stay on the path, and beyond the falls it turns boggy. The burn is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with rare hawkweeds, and you may see ravens or mountain hares. There are toilets and shops at Aith and at Voe, and a café close by.
