Waterfall at Loch na Gainmhich, Assynt, Sutherland, Scotland

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

The small loch of Loch na Gainmhich lies just south of Loch Glencoul and Kylesku, off the A896 road from Loch Assynt. The outflow from the loch tumbles almost straight down to a narrow gully that is almost completely hidden from view. I would never have known that this wonderful waterfall existed if I hadn't seen a photo of it on the website of a wonderful little cottage I rented at Unapool, near Kylesku. I was so taken by the view that I asked the cottage owner where he had taken it. He obliged with detailed instruction on how to find the falls - which is actually quite easy once you know were it is!
