Killiecrankie Bridge Falls

Highlight • Viewpoint

Killie Br Falls are a series of waterfalls on the River Garry upstream of the famous soldier's leap. Good visibility from the bridge.

It's said that, during the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689, government soldier Donald McBane successfully jumped across the river at this spot to escape pursuing Jacobites. This would have been an impressive feat, as the gorge is 18.5 feet (5.5 m) at this point. It's a great spot to visit on a hike, both for the rushing River Garry and to imagine McBane's great jump.
