Puck's Glen, Woodland gorge in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

The narrow gorge features cascading waterfalls, moss-covered rocks, and numerous bridges crossing over a flowing stream beneath towering Douglas firs.

The Victorian-era walkway, constructed in the 19th century, established Puck's Glen as a destination for nature exploration within the Cowal Peninsula.

The glen takes its name from Shakespeare's character Puck, while local folklore speaks of the Ghillie Dhu forest spirit protecting the woodland.

The 2.8-kilometer trail requires appropriate footwear due to steep slopes, uneven gravel paths, and frequently wet conditions throughout the route.

During rainfall, the waterfalls intensify their flow through the gorge, creating multiple cascades that enhance the natural features of the glen.
