Falls of Shin
Situated on the River Shin, not too far from Lairg, these are not the tallest of waterfalls, but they are in a lovely location, surrounded by marvellous trails through mixed woodland. This is a commonly visited spot, and the rush of the water is often accompanied by the sound of children playing, so if you want to seek out a waterfall for quiet contemplation, this might not be the best of choices! At the right time of year the falls play host to the magnificent spectacle of leaping salmon, returning upriver to spawn.
