Glomach is Gaelic for 'gloomy' or 'hazy', and also for 'chasm', and the Falls of Glomach manage to be all three at once. The water emerges from open moorland and then, with very little warning, the ground simply falls away beneath it for 113 metres into a slot in the rock so narrow that no camera has ever caught the whole drop in a single frame. Eighteen miles east of Kyle of Lochalsh, the falls have refused to make themselves convenient. You cannot drive to them. You cannot easily photograph them. You have to walk in and stand at the edge, and that is the only way they are willing to be seen.

The figure to remember is 113 metres of single drop, which makes Glomach one of the tallest waterfalls in Britain. It is not the absolute highest - that distinction is contested between several remote Highland cascades - but it is widely considered the most spectacular because of...

The National Trust for Scotland, which owns the surrounding Kintail and West Affric estates, recommends the route from Morvich on the shore of Loch Duich.

In 1973 an eleven-year-old girl named Rosie McCusker slipped at the edge of the gorge and fell sixty metres into the cleft. Astonishingly she landed without serious injury - the geometry of the slot, the height of the drop, and the wet rock somehow combined to save her - but gett...

The viewpoint, when you finally reach it, is a small grassy ledge above the head of the falls. From there you can lean cautiously and look down into the chasm where the water disappears. There is no good way to see the bottom drop. The walls of the gorge close in too tight. The f...
