Scottish Places of Interest. Eas a’ Chual Aluinn.

Eas a’ Chual Aluinn (grid reference NC281278) in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, is the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom with a drop of 200 m (660 ft).

The waterfall can be reached by a 6-mile (10-kilometre) walk across boggy ground from the road 3 mi (5 km) south of Kylesku in Sutherland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible.

The name is a corruption of Scottish Gaelic: Eas a’ Chùil Àlainn, (“waterfall of the beautiful tresses”).
