Falls of Foyers Tourism

The Falls of Foyers is a stunning natural waterfall located on the eastern shore of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Originating from the River Foyers, the water cascades through a gorge, creating a spectacular display as it plunges into the deep pool below. Historically, the Falls of Foyers was a popular tourist attraction during the Victorian era, even inspiring the famous poet Robert Burns to write about its beauty in 1787. The surrounding area is rich with woodland paths providing an enchanting journey through the native forests leading to various viewpoints. The falls consist of two main tiers known as the Upper and Lower falls, with the most impressive being the latter due to its 165-foot (50 meters) drop. The site has been harnessed for hydroelectric power since the early 20th century, playing a role in Scotland's industrial history. A visit here offers not just natural beauty but an opportunity to learn about renewable energy production. Visitors can expect a peaceful atmosphere, broken only by the sounds of cascading water and local wildlife.
