Trek through ancient oak woodland on the remote eastern shore of Loch Ness to reach the spectacular Falls of Foyers — a 62-metre cascade thundering into a rock gorge, largely unknown to mainstream tourism. Wild, dramatic, and utterly Scottish.
What to expect
Your guide drives you along the B852 — the quiet, rarely-visited eastern loch shore — with stops at elevated viewpoints where the full 23-mile length of Loch Ness opens before you. The woodland trail to Foyers is a gentle 30-minute walk through moss-draped birch and rowan, emerging at a viewing platform above the gorge where the waterfall roars below. Your naturalist guide identifies red squirrels, red kites, and Highland flora along the trail. The return journey follows the loch shore at water level — serene, glassy, and breathtaking.
Good to know
The Falls of Foyers are at their most dramatic after rainfall — common in the Highlands. Wear layered waterproofs and sturdy walking shoes. The eastern shore road is narrow and unsuitable for coaches, making this a genuinely exclusive route. Allow 5–6 hours including transfers from Invergordon.
