Take time to discover the natural wonders which shape this remarkablyly diverse area of Scotland. You’ll not be disappointed.

Falls of Falloch:
Approx. 11 miles north of Tarbet and close to Loch Lomond. Glen Falloch itself has remnants of the Caledonian Pine forest.

Eas Fors Waterfall, Mull,
10 miles NW of Salen, a massive spectacular waterfall best viewed from the shore.

Bracklinn Falls, Callander
These spectacular falls are easily reached on foot 1 mile up the Bracklinn Road. It’s a 15 minute walk from there through woodland as part of a circular walk which has been marked out. The Keltie Water falls through vertical slabs of sandstone which create a series of waterfalls and pools.

Falls of Dochart
Set in the village of Killin these 'falls' can be seen best from the bridge over the River Dochart. When the river is in spate the falls are spectacular but when it is lower it is possible to clamber over the rocks.

The Falls of Lora, Connel
The only tidal cascade in Britain. Not a waterfall but a huge turbulence under Connel Bridge where the incoming sea tide meets the outgoing Loch Etive tide.

Corryvreckan Whirlpool
Just off the isle of Jura, south of Oban. A spectacular whirlpool – 3rd largest in the world! Tidal waters meet here and the roar of the whirlpool can be heard over 10 miles away.

Duncryne Hill
A volcanic plug, otherwise known as 'The Dumpling', which overlooks the village of Gartocharn. It’s only 465ft (142m) high but has an impressive view of the loch's islands.

Isle of Staffa
Staffa means "Pillar Island", which only begins to describe the breathtaking formations of columnar basalt. An island of caves, of which the best known is Fingal's Cave, a full 227 ft (69 m) deep and 66 ft (20 m) high and inspiration for Mendelssohn's overture Fingal's Cave, also known as The Hebrides, which he composed in 1829 after a visit to the island.

Loch Lomond
The largest body of fresh water in Britain, the loch has inspired generations of poets and painters, singers and storytellers to capture its beauty and wild romance.

Conic Hill
A volcanic plug just north of Balmaha. Although only 358m high, snow never lies on top of it.

Flanders Moss, Trossachs
Declared a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' Flanders Moss represents a fifth of the remaining undisturbed lowland raised bog in Scotland and a twelfth of the UK total. It’s a National Nature Reserve and a site of European biodiversity importance. It has changed very little from its formation 10,000 years ago. The best viewpoint is on the road between Thornhill and Port of Menteith (A873).

Highland Boundary Fault
Cuts a swathe across Scotland, separating Highland from Lowland. Starting on the Isle of Bute, through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and then onwards to the north-east of Scotland. The landscape to the west of the line is distinctly more mountainous than that to the east.

Gulf Stream
The gulf stream is one of the strongest ocean currents in the world. It moves warm water from the Gulf of Mexico north into the Atlantic and eventually flows up the western side of Scotland, keeping the sea temperate and the climate mild, allowing tropical plants such as palm trees to flourish.
