These ancient standing stones were erected in the late Neolithic era and are one of the oldest and largest megalithic sites in the UK. The site was a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age, and it’s easy to see why. The landscape is breathtaking, and the stones themselves are awe-inspiring.
Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom, located in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The waterfall has a sheer drop of 200 meters (660 feet) and is about four times taller than Niagara Falls. It can be reached by a 6-mile (10-kilometer) walk across boggy ground from the road 3 miles (5 kilometers) south of Kylesku in Sutherland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible. Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is also known as the “waterfall of the beautiful tresses” in Scottish Gaelic. The view from the top of the waterfall is breathtaking, with the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area visible in the distance
