Upper Falls

Waterfall

The Falls of Foyers (Scottish Gaelic: Eas na Smùide, meaning the smoking falls) are two waterfalls on the River Foyers, which feeds Loch Ness, in Highland, Scotland. They are located on the lower portion of the River Foyers, and consist of the upper falls, with a drop of 46 feet (14 m) and the lower falls, which drop 98 feet (30 m). The River Foyers flows into Loch Ness on the south-eastern shore about half-way along its length, where the village of Foyers is sited.
