Falls of Balgy

Discover this charming, family-friendly loop hike on the south shore of Loch Torridon. You'll enjoy picturesque views over the loch and Torridon's majestic mountains, including Beinn Alligin. The first part of the walk takes you through the Aird Mhor peninsula, lined with magnificent pine trees, while the second, more rugged section follows the River Balgy, past the Balgy Falls to its mouth in Loch Damh.

The route is mainly on well-maintained paths and tracks, although unmarked as is often the case in Scotland. No particular difficulties to report.
