Scotland, a country in Europe, is home to a wide range of landscape types. As the ice melts and forms rivers, the rivers plunge precipitously to the sea, causing a series of waterfalls to form naturally in the intervals between voyages.
Even though there are a lot of waterfalls, most of them are in inconvenient wilderness areas and are hard to get to. It’s common for people to travel to Scotland in order to hike to one of the country’s many breathtaking waterfalls. Several spectacular waterfalls can be found in the country’s Highlands. The waterfalls listed below range in difficulty from very accessible to extremely difficult.
