The Falls of Shin are located some 4 miles south of Lairg at the head of Loch Shin - a long inland loch. The falls are famous for leaping Salmon and make an interesting destination for a day trip from Ullapool.

The scenery on route to the Falls of Shin is impressive as it is so desolate, harsh and bleak. Even in summer you can travel for many miles without seeing another car and only the sound of the buzzard or hen-harrier breaks the eerie silence.
