It is an incredible mesmerising sight along the A82 and this is something not to be missed if you are a landscape photographer.

This is another roadside location offering stunning views. Clachaig Falls is a picturesque group of waterfalls but with the dramatic backdrop of the Three Sisters, but this time we’re on the western side of Glencoe. This location works well as a sunset location in the summer months although it would also look stunning in full winter conditions. Park in the small roadside car park near Loch Achtriochan, cross the A82 and head down the small lane running alongside the river only a short while before you start to come across the waterfalls.
