Corrieshalloch Gorge and Falls of Measach

Corrieshalloch Gorge is situated on the Droma River 20km S of Ullapool in Scottish Highlands. It is 1.5km long, 60m deep and formed at the end of the last ice age (10-13,000Y BP) by rapid erosion caused by meltwater. The 46m Falls of Measach can be viewed from a viewing platform and a Victorian suspension footbridge. The gorge and surrounding area are owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

Access to the footbridge is via a 300m path from the car park on the South side of the gorge. There is a charge of 1 UK Pound payable using an honesty box at the start of the path. Access from the North side has been closed due to the wind damage.
