Woven Sound, Falls of Falloch

Welcome

Woven Sound is a viewpoint built out over the edge of a cliff at the Falls of Falloch, where you take in the view and the sound of the falls together.

It is part of the Scottish Scenic Routes project, a three-year project to enhance the landscape with a series of art installations. The Falls of Falloch is a quiet waterfall and a popular picnic spot, just off the A82 south of Crianlarich. The viewpoint was designed by John Kennedy, who added extracts from the poet Dorothy Wordsworth's diary to its metal.
