Plodda Falls

Eas Ploda

A 46-meter waterfall hidden among tall Douglas firs, with a Victorian-style cantilevered viewing platform jutting out above the falls.

Eas Ploda lies near the village of Tomich. The waterfall drops about 46 m and is surrounded by giant Douglas firs planted in the 19th century, some taller than 60 m. From the car park, it is about a 10-minute walk to a cantilevered viewing platform, where you can stand at the top of the falls and look down; another trail leads to the bottom for a full view. Admission is free. The road is single-track; it is about one hour's drive from Inverness and is often paired with Glen Affric on the same day.
