Close to the ruins of Guisachan House is a gem of a water feature that many people pass by totally unaware of its presence. Paling somewhat in comparison to its near neighbour Plodda Falls, it nevertheless is well worth a visit if you are in the vicinity. Shown on the OS maps as Guisachan Fall, it is also referred to locally as Home Falls.
The top of the falls can be approached from the road that goes from Tomich to Plodda Falls but the better aspect is from below. Approaching Guisachan House from Tomich, as you reach the ruin there is a stream down to your left. A faint path heads upstream over a low wire fence and through rhodedendrons and other shrubs. The bottom of the falls is only a short distance away up a boggy and often slippy path. There is no great danger but it can be very slippy underfoot on wet rocks and tree roots, so care should be taken. |
