Visit Falls of Shin

Situated just off the North Coast 500 Route that follows the coastal roads of the North Highlands with its ancient castles, breathtaking sandy beaches and fascinating heritage, the Falls of Shin Visitor Attraction is a delightful detour into the Heart of Sutherland.

Follow the single-track road up through Achany Glen, alongside the meandering River Shin to a clearing in the pine forest where majestic Atlantic salmon leap up the powerful falls as they attempt to return upstream!

Falls of Shin Visitor Attraction is owned by Kyle of Sutherland Development Trust who manage it on behalf of the local community. The restaurant and gift shop (which is currently closed) is usually run by an external operator.
