Loch Damh

Highlight • Viewpoint

The wild waters of Loch Damh are situated between the Coulin Forest and Applecross regions in the North West Highlands. This is a stunning and remote landscape.

From the loch, the River Balgy tumbles north, where it meets Loch Torridon on its journey to the sea. The Falls of Balgy are a particularly beautiful spot not far from the loch's northern end.

Falls of Balgy

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Falls of Balgy are an impressive series of cascades in the Torridon region of the Highlands. There's a waymarked hike from the Torridon Hotel to access the falls and they can easily be linked with an exploration of the Aird Mhòr peninsula. The sight of salmon leaping upstream during autumn's spawning season is wonderful.

We wanted to stretch our legs during our road trip on the North Coast 500 route and found this relatively unknown waterfall. Once at the waterfall we wanted to walk a bit further and so we ended up at the beautiful Loch Damh.
