Eas a' Chùal Aluinn, Waterfall in Assynt, Scotland
Water drops 200 meters in multiple tiers from the Allt a' Chual Aluinn river before flowing into Loch Glencoul in the northern Highland region.
The waterfall received its name from Scottish Gaelic language, with 'Eas a' Chùil Àlainn' translating to 'waterfall of the beautiful tresses' in English.
The surrounding Assynt region maintains traditional Scottish Highland practices, with local communities preserving Gaelic language elements and centuries-old farming methods.
Visitors need to complete a 10-kilometer walk across varying terrain from the A894 road, located 5 kilometers south of Kylesku settlement.
The falls measure four times the height of Niagara Falls, making this cascade the highest waterfall in the United Kingdom at 200 meters.
