About Shin Falls

About Falls of Shin

The Falls of Shin is a waterfall on the River Shin in northern Scotland. Close to the villages of Bonar Bridge and Lairg, the falls are not significantly high, but the sheer power of water cascading down is impressive, leading to views of salmon attempting the leap upstream in summer.

There are platforms beside the falls for observation. Work is continuing on the construction of a new visitor centre after the destruction of the previous one by fire in 2013; but the car park remains open for access. A short, steep descent down a marked path marks the route to view this waterfall.
