Black Spout Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

From this spot you are afforded a dramatic view of the Black Spout waterfall. Waymarked paths explore the woodland around the falls, with footbridges over the burns. Close to the waterfall is Edradour Distillery, which draws water from the Edradour Burn, which includes Black Spout Waterfall, to make its much-celebrated Highland single malt whisky.

Port Na Craig Inn

Highlight • Pub

An old inn and restaurant (sucked kitchen with regional products) and 2 beautiful guest rooms furnished in English style. Not cheap, but an experience. The Inn can be seen from the pedestrian bridge, away from the hustle and bustle of the hackneyed tourist town.

Tummel Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Be mindful of the width of this bridge as it may be difficult to pass others with a pram/dogs etc so be willing to wait at one end to allow others to cross.
