Visit a scenic 100-foot waterfall nestled in woodland near Drumnadrochit, featuring a pleasant short walk through oak forests and a fenced viewing platform.
Falls of Divach is a picturesque waterfall located two miles south of Drumnadrochit in the Scottish Highlands. The Divach Burn cascades over 100 feet down into the valley below, eventually joining the River Coiltie which flows toward Loch Ness. The venue offers a peaceful outdoor experience suitable for families of all ages. The journey to the falls is part of the attraction, with visitors driving along a scenic single-track road offering stunning views over the countryside and down to Urquhart Bay. A well-maintained, easy-to-walk earth path winds through a beautiful oak forest, taking approximately 20-30 minutes from the small free car park to reach the falls. Upon arrival, visitors access a substantial multi-level wooden viewing platform with perimeter fencing, providing safe vantage points to observe the waterfall from different heights. This makes it accessible for families with young children and those seeking different photographic angles. The falls are particularly impressive after heavy rainfall, though they offer pleasant woodland scenery year-round. As a free entry outdoor attraction that is dog-friendly, Falls of Divach makes an excellent addition to a Loch Ness area itinerary, combining natural beauty with an easy, enjoyable walking experience.
