Spout of Garnock, Waterfall in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The Spout of Garnock extends 20 meters in height within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, standing as the highest waterfall in the North Ayrshire region.

Local records from 1833 document a significant event when the riverbed near the waterfall collapsed into mine workings, resulting in extensive flooding of the area.

The Garnock region maintains strong connections to Scottish heritage through ranger-led walks that share knowledge about local landscapes and water management.

Visitors can access the waterfall through an 8-mile trail starting at Milton Road car park in Kilbirnie, requiring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.

The waterfall sits 1.5 miles away from the River Garnock's source, contrary to the long-held belief that it marked the river's beginning point.
