Falls of Pattack, Natural waterfall in Highland, Scotland
The Falls of Pattack is a waterfall in the Scottish Highlands that plunges over a series of rocky tiers. The water tumbles down through distinct sections, creating small pools that shift in appearance depending on the season and rainfall.
The waterfall was carved out during the last ice age when glaciers shaped the surrounding valleys thousands of years ago. This geological process created the stepped formation that exists today and remains a permanent part of the Highland landscape.
Local Highland communities have incorporated the sound and presence of the Falls of Pattack into their traditional stories and regional folklore.
You can reach the site by following marked hiking trails that require good footwear for grip and stability. The paths can be wet and slippery, especially after rain, so plan your visit when conditions are dry and allow time to move safely.
The waterfall's position allows observers to witness the water flow from different angles, as it descends through various geological formations.
