Ayrshire's highest waterfall (Approx. 60 – 70 ft high), The Spout of Garnock or Garnock Spout [1], tumbles noisily over a rocky and a somewhat steep downward slope, forming a wild and lonely furious rush of water which is particularly impressive when in spate. It is not the source of the River Garnock, as is sometimes said, but is located about a mile and a half from the rivers birth[1]. The hike to the falls is not an easy one, but if well planned is rewarding, and will take you past the Murchan Spout [2] which is also worth a visit.
