2. Falls Of Falloch - Stirlingshire

Only a five-minute walk from the nearby carpark, the Falls of Falloch has been dubbed something straight out of Jurassic Park.

The falls can become quite fierce, especially after heavy rain which is why it's recommended that visitors stand well away from the edge.

3. Falls Of Dochart - Killin

The waterfall in Killin is apparently best viewed in the winter months, especially after the snow has melted.

Visitors will know they are close to the "stunning falls" when they hear the "loud fierce noise of the water."

4. Falls of Bruar - Bruar Water

UK Hidden Gems says photos "really don't do The Falls of Bruar justice," adding that visitors are often "taken aback by how spectacular the waterfall is".

The hike to the fall is definitely worth the time with those coming here able to soak in a "fairy-tale" atmosphere.
