Wailing Widow Falls, also known as Loch Na Gainmhich Waterfall, is a stunning 30-metre waterfall located in Assynt, Scotland. The waterfall got its name from a tragic legend involving a deer hunter and his mother. Accessible from the A894 on the NC500 route, the short hike to the falls offers breathtaking views from both above and below. Visitors can enjoy the gushing water cascading into a small pool below and even scramble up the side for a bird's eye view. With its easy accessibility and impressive beauty, Wailing Widow Falls is a must-see destination for nature lovers exploring the Scottish Highlands.
