"The Falls of Shin" This is a truly wonderful experience for all the family Set in the Achany Glen, amongst spectacular Highland scenery

When the glaciers melted after the last Ice Age in the UK , the Highland landscape was formed, creating Glens and Lochs. Erosion by debris, boulders and gravel led to the formation of the River Shin and the Falls of Shin which are a natural feature of the River.
