Falls of Shin

Carved from the great glaciers of the last Ice Age are the Falls of Shin, a breathtaking natural salmon leap set in the heart of the Scottish highlands.

Its mighty currents force the icy waters over ancient riverbeds creating the perfect habitat for freshwater fish such as the graceful Atlantic salmon. Visit the Falls of Shin and see if you can catch sight of the salmon leaping upstream to the calmer waters of their birthplace, Loch Shin, to spawn future generations.  

A great family day out

The intrinsic beauty and stark landscapes leading up to the Falls made it a natural tourist attraction, but it wasn’t until 1997 when Mr Al Fayed purchased it that the thought and capital were invested to transform it into a popular family destination. Its natural beauty, thrilling adventure playground, award-winning restaurant and four-star rated tourist shop stocked with local produce and Harrods goods, have made it a winner. Even the loos have received an award!
