Grey Mare's Tail, Kilpatrick Hills, Natural waterfall in Kilpatrick Hills, Scotland
The Grey Mare's Tail waterfall creates a vertical water cascade down steep rock faces within the green slopes of West Dunbartonshire's natural landscape.
The waterfall stands as a long-term natural landmark in the Kilpatrick Hills, drawing visitors and local communities throughout generations of Scottish history.
Local narratives connect the waterfall's name to tales of a grey horse that according to regional folklore lived near the cascading waters.
The marked trail to the waterfall requires sturdy footwear and caution, as the terrain becomes slippery during wet weather conditions.
Spring and autumn present the most active water flow periods, when the cascade reaches its maximum volume against the rocky backdrop.
