History of Corrieshalloch Gorge and Falls

While it is unclear when the falls were first discovered by humans in Scotland, it has been proven that people were writing about the incredible scenic attraction as early as the 17th century. It wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century, however, until the architect John Fowler built the first suspension bridge for viewing the falls and for crossing the Droma River that the attraction was visited by the masses. Today that same bridge that crosses over the gorge and is an impressive structure.
