Corrieshalloch Gorge
Braemore, United Kingdom
A narrow box canyon about 60 m deep, crossed by a Victorian suspension bridge above the Falls of Measach. The National Trust for Scotland car park is on the A835 near the Braemore junction; the path is short but steep.
Corrieshalloch Gorge is about 1.5 km long and roughly 60 m deep. The Falls of Measach plunge some 46 m. A pedestrian suspension bridge about 25 m long spans the River Droma; Sir John Fowler had it built in 1874 on his Braemore estate, and Fowler also worked on the Forth Bridge. The bridge sways slightly in the wind. The gorge has belonged to the National Trust for Scotland since 1945 and is a national nature reserve, at just 7 hectares the smallest in Scotland.
It lies about 20 km south of Ullapool, where the A832 meets the A835. From the car park south of the gorge, a path of about 300 m leads to the bridge, and a viewing platform further down the gorge looks back to the bridge and waterfall. In winter you can feel the spray of the waterfall on the bridge and see the bare gorge particularly clearly.
