How do you get to the waterfall would love to go, but no idea where it is.

Cheers for that, looking forward to a nice day so we can head off.
For some reason the websiet wont allow me to save it as a favourite so will have to copy and past the info lol.

The waterfall in the pic has no name on the Ordnance Survey map. It's about 4 miles south of the Kylesku Bridge just off the A894.

Just before the road goes up hill on some hairpin bends (heading south from Kylesku) there's a layby on the left that's been bouldered off to stop camper vans etc but there's still enough room for a couple of cars. Park here, then it's 5 mins walk along a wee gully. Stout footwear essential, it's a short walk but a wee bit rough.

OS map is Landranger 15 Loch Assynt. Grid ref is NC242293. The waterfall is the outflow of Loch na Gainmhich.

Cracking photo redbaron - brings back memories of a previous visits to it after a day on Quinag and a walk across to Eas a'Chuil Aulin.

It's well worth the 5 minute walk from the roadside.
