Rogie Falls

Eas Rothagaidh

A waterfall on the River Black Water, crossed by a suspension footbridge, where salmon can be seen leaping upstream in late summer and early autumn.

Eas Rothagaidh lies in forest near Strathpeffer. From the car park beside the A835, a 10-minute walk along a woodland path brings you to it. A suspension footbridge spans the rapids below the falls, the best spot for photography. A fish ladder runs alongside the falls, and from July to September you can often see Atlantic salmon leaping out of the water to swim upstream. Admission is free, and the car park has toilets. It lies about 30 km from Inverness and is a convenient stop on the way to the northwest Highlands.
