Elgin Falls, Waterfall in Ambewela, Sri Lanka.

Elgin Falls is a 25 m (82 ft) waterfall on the Elgin tea estate, about 18 km (11 mi) from Nuwara Eliya, at roughly 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level. It is named after Elgin, a town in Moray, Scotland. The falls can be seen from the railway line between Nanu Oya and Ambewela.

The falls took their name from Elgin, a Scottish town, during the British colonial period when settlers developed tea estates in the highlands. This naming reflected European influences that shaped the region as colonial planters transformed the landscape.

The falls lie within the Elgin tea estate, and the name comes from Elgin, a town in Moray, Scotland, given by the British planters who developed the highland tea estates. Visitors pass the estate's tea fields on the way to the fall.
