Black Rock Gorge, Natural gorge in Easter Ross, Scotland
The Black Rock Gorge features steep sandstone cliffs rising 36 meters high, with the River Glass flowing through its narrow 1.5-kilometer passage.
The formation occurred during the last Ice Age when glacial meltwater carved through the Old Red Sandstone conglomerate, creating deep channels over thousands of years.
The gorge holds local folklore about the Lady of Balconie, who reportedly vanished into its depths after encountering a mysterious figure near the cliffs.
Visitors can access the gorge through marked trails from Evanton village, with two footbridges providing different viewing angles of the water flowing below.
The gorge served as a filming location for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, appearing in the scene where Harry faces the Hungarian Horntail dragon.
