Rogie Falls, Waterfall system in Highland, Scotland
Rogie Falls is a series of cascading waterfalls on the Black Water river that drop through a granite gorge in Ross-shire. The water flows over stepped rock formations, creating pools and rapids at different levels throughout the descent.
The falls became known during the Victorian era when improved railway networks made Scottish Highlands more accessible to visitors. This period marked the beginning of organized tourism to the region's remote natural attractions.
The falls hold significance for local salmon conservation efforts, with fish ladders built into the cascades to support their upstream journey during spawning season.
Two marked walking paths depart from the parking area: a shorter direct route and a longer woodland trail offering different vantage points. Both trails feature clear signage and lead to viewing areas where the water drops are best seen.
Between July and September, wild salmon navigate upstream through the cascades during their spawning migration, leaping over the water drops at this site. This natural spectacle demonstrates the remarkable effort these fish undertake to reach their breeding grounds.
