Falls of Lora, Tidal waterfall at Connel Bridge, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Located where Loch Etive meets the Atlantic Ocean, Falls of Lora creates white water rapids underneath the Connel Bridge every six hours.
The waterfall system has acted as a natural navigation marker for maritime traffic along the Scottish western coast since the early settlement periods.
Local kayakers and canoeists regularly gather at Falls of Lora to practice their water sports skills during specific tidal conditions.
Visitors can observe the tidal phenomenon from the viewing area near the car park along A85 road or from designated spots on Connel Bridge.
The waters flow in both directions across a rock shelf, creating standing waves that change direction and intensity based on tidal movements.
