Plodda Falls

Water drops 46 meters from the Allt na Bodachan river into a deep gorge surrounded by tall Douglas fir trees and native Highland vegetation.

Lord Tweedmouth constructed a footbridge at the waterfall's summit in 1880, which remained until 2005 when safety concerns led to its closure.

The falls carry the name Eas Ploda in Scottish Gaelic, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the Highland region where they are located.

The falls require a 5-kilometer drive from Tomich village on narrow forest roads, with a designated parking area at the trail starting point.

The course of the river was modified in the 1800s through engineering works that altered the natural flow pattern of the water.
