The Falls of Bruar: A Scenic Waterfall Walk

Just behind House of the Bruar, you'll find the Bruar Falls, a much loved trail with a series of waterfalls that served as a tourist attraction since the 1700s. The stream responsible for these waterfalls, the Bruar Water, were said to have been immortalized in a poem by Robert Burns. The 1.5 mile (2km) path is steep at times and can be quite a climb, so do allow between an hour and an hour and a half if you want to enjoy the splendid views the walk provide. If you’re a thrill seeker on the look out for something more adventurous then there is the opportunity to go canyoning at the Falls of Bruar as well.
