Background

History

Dorothy Wordsworth, the sister of William Wordsworth visited here on their famous tour of Scotland along with Samuel Coleridge. She, along with other writers and painters appreciated the view of the falls as far as early 19th century. The huge pool down the waterfall is known as the Rob Roy's Bathtub; in the same pool the Scottish mountaineer W. H. Murray was about to drown after falling by accident into the Falloch in the gorge upstream the waterfall. In 2013 was built the Woven Sound, a viewpoint built in order to enable visitors to safely observe the waterfall without disturbing the natural beauty of the spot.
