Visit a Victorian folly perched above the River Moriston falls with spectacular views of salmon migration and Loch Ness scenery.

The Summer House in Invermoriston, Scotland is a historic Victorian folly located just downstream of the iconic Telford Bridge, built in 1813. Constructed by a former laird of Glenmoriston, this charming structure was originally designed as a shelter for house guests to observe salmon migrating upstream through the spectacular River Moriston falls. Perched precariously above the largest of the falls, the Summer House offers visitors dramatic views of cascading water and the surrounding Highland landscape. The venue sits on the banks of Loch Ness, approximately 11km north of Fort Augustus on the A82 road, making it an accessible stop for families exploring the region. The site is easily reached via a short, easy forest walk from a free car park, making it suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. The combination of historical architecture, natural beauty, and riverside scenery makes this a unique destination for families interested in Scottish heritage and outdoor exploration.
