Falls of Falloch ( Gaelic : Eas Falach , German: hidden waterfall ) is a waterfall of the River Falloch , which runs along the A82 through the south of the Scottish Highlands and flows into Loch Lomond at Ardlui . The Gaelic name refers to the rush of water that can be heard from far before reaching the waterfall.
The waterfall is a local attraction about 6 km southwest of the village of Crianlarich in Stirling - County and Rob Roy 's Bath ( English Rob Roy's bathtub called). This historical figure is described in the novel of the same name by Walter Scott and a film adaptation of the same title .
In the immediate vicinity is the Woven Sound installation by the architect John Kennedy , which depicts a cage-like corridor over the water. This takes up a thought written down by Dorothy Wordsworth in 1803 in the diaries of the Grand Tour and offers an impressive view of the waterfall.
