Welcome to the Falls of Falloch , which in Scottish Gaelic; means “Hidden Falls” It is also known as Rob Roy’s Bathtub. Legend states that outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor used to bathe in the deep pool under the falls. Rob Roy MacGregor was by turn soldier, businessman, cattle-rustler and outlaw. But above all he was a folk hero, a latter day Robin Hood whose transformation into a larger-than-life figure began with Daniel Defoe's fictionalised biography "Highland Rogue". This was published while Rob Roy's was still alive and led to the Royal Pardon in 1726 that allowed him to live out his final years quietly, literally a legend in his own lifetime. In addition to the natural beauty of this location is the 'Woven Sound' installation - a caged walkway which provides a different viewpoint for the falls. Constructed from steel rods by John Kennedy; the installation features an entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's diary that recalls the thoughts of those who visited the falls during the days of the Grand Tour. The Woven Sound amplifies the sound of the falls, with the platform providing a sheltered and close view of the waterfall. sources:walkhighlands.co.uk, seelochlomond.co.uk, undiscoveredscotland.co.uk #scotland #visitscotland #scottish #nature #travel #highlands #scottishhighlands #scotlandtravel #scotlandphotography #hiddenscotland #scotlandexplore #kilt #outlander #highlander #glasgow #outlanderfans #highlandertours #andythehighlander #waterfall #fallsoffalloch #lochlomond
