Corrieshalloch Gorge, Natural canyon in Highland, Scotland

The Corrieshalloch Gorge extends for one mile through the Scottish Highlands, reaching depths of 60 meters with steep rock walls along its length.

The gorge formed during the end of the last ice age, as powerful meltwater from glaciers carved through the existing Moine rock formations.

The name Corrieshalloch comes from Scottish Gaelic, translating to an unattractive corrie, which stands in contrast to its natural formations.

A Victorian suspension bridge spans 25 meters across the gorge, allowing visitors to observe the 46-meter Falls of Measach from multiple viewing points.

The gorge provides a specialized habitat for the rare cranefly species Lipsothrix ecucullata, which depends on wet decayed wood for survival.
