Loup of Fintry, Waterfall near Fintry, Scotland.
Description
Loup of Fintry is a waterfall where the Endrick River drops over several rocky steps in Scotland. The water creates distinct cascades at each level, forming a layered sequence of falls.
History
Water flow at this site decreased after the Carron Valley Reservoir was constructed, diverting part of the river upstream. The dam has affected the waterfall's appearance since its completion.
Culture
The name comes from Scottish dialect meaning leap, describing how water jumps over the rocks. Visitors can sense this meaning directly in the water's movement when they stand nearby.
Practical
You can reach this site from the B818 road, where signs lead to parking near the Carron Valley Reservoir facilities. From the parking area, the path to the waterfall is straightforward and short.
Did you know?
The water patterns at each level shift depending on how much flow the Endrick River carries, making each visit different. On rainy days the cascade looks completely different than during drier periods.
