Best waterfalls in Scotland?

[y.k]

Hi guys,

Could anyone suggest amazing waterfalls to visit in Scotland? Preferably about an hours drive from Glasgow.

Thanks.

The Falls of Leny just north of Callander are good, and in range for you. Not high but depending on there water level quite impressive close up. Not far from Killin either for the falls there.

Possibly, think South also.

Bottom end of the M74 hoik back NE and go the the Gray Mares Tail.

Or Linhope Spout in the Chevoits?

If you really can go a bit further into England, go to the Tees, Cauldron Snout (the longest waterfall - i.e. a series of small catarcts joined together) or High Force (the highest volume flow).

Falls of Foyers - east side of Loch Ness.

We're all forgetting the Falls of Clyde/ New Lanark

The reservoir overflow at Flotterstone in the Pentlands is pretty impressive. Lovely area for a walk too. Only caveat is that it won’t be that ‘big’ in the summer.

The biggest one of all is a longer , but wonderful drive North, followed by a boat trip from Kylesku . It is called Eas A'Chual Aluinn and is well worth the effort of seeing . It is , I think , the highest waterfall in Britain - although actually it is more of a large stream flowing down an almost vertical cliff . Last time I was there we had the bonus of Golden Eagles too .

Not in any conventional sense a waterfall - but one in a literal sense - can be seen on the escarpment behind (ie east ) of Inchnadamph , by Loch Assynt in Sutherland . If there has been heavy rain very recently an absolute torrent falls off the high cliffs and , if it's windy (as it normally is there ) you get spectacular effects as the water is blown back into the air . Another good Golden Eagle location too .

Or this one just off the road very near to the one mentioned above.

Some of those mentioned are considerably more than hour from Glasgow.
The drive alone to Eas a' Chual Aulinn is four and a half at least. And you're not even close!

If going as far as the north west Highlands I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Corrieschalloch.
Others are available a tad nearer: e.g. Divach, Plodda.

These are all within striking distance for the OP.

Those are even closer to Callender than the Falls of Leny.
