Plodda Falls (Eas Ploda) are situated in wonderful woodland near the Victorian village of Tomich.
At 46 metres high, the falls are spectacular at any time of year, and can freeze over in winter, allowing the more intrepid of adventurers to ice climb them.
The falls are on the Allt na Bodachan, and are easily accessible on the Forestry commission tracks.
In 1880, The former owner of Guisachan Estate, Lord Tweedmouth built a bridge over the Falls, but by 2005 was in such a perilous state that the Forestry Commission built the current viewing platfrom which overlooks the falls now.
There are several routes to reach the falls and it’s well worth walking the longer routes and taking a short detour to admire the ruins of Guisachan House, which has a rich and varied history of its own.
Lord Tweedmouth was responsible for the planting of the diverse woodland in the area,which supports a large range of wildlife, just be careful of the ant colonies! The Douglas Firs are among the tallest in Britain and are certainly majestic.
Tweedmouth was also responsible for the development of the Golden Retriever breed of dog.
