Falls of Divach, Woodland waterfall near Drumnadrochit, Scotland
The Divach Burn creates a waterfall as it drops down a cliff and flows into the River Coiltie near Loch Ness. The water is surrounded by dense oak woodlands, and visitors reach the viewing point on a short trail from a designated parking area.
During the Victorian era, this waterfall attracted many visitors and artists before Loch Ness became the region's main attraction. The falls were a popular destination for travelers exploring the Scottish Highlands.
Local people maintain these woodland paths as a destination for walking, showing the Scottish tradition of keeping natural places open to everyone. The oak forests around this spot have long been part of how communities share their land.
A parking area run by the Forestry Commission provides straightforward access to the viewing platform on a well-marked path. The route is short and easy to follow, making it suitable for walkers of various abilities.
The water changes noticeably between seasons, flowing gently in summer but becoming powerful after autumn and winter rains. This means visitors see a different version of the falls depending on when they arrive.
