The 'Woven Sound' art installation is designed to mimic the swirling movement of the river water.
The waterfall is located at the point where the River Falloch descends from the moorlands toward Loch Lomond.
The viewing platform is cantilevered, allowing visitors to hover directly over the cascading water.
The area is home to diverse flora, including rare ferns that thrive in the mist and humidity generated by the falls.
The site was historically part of the traditional route used by cattle drovers traveling to markets in the south.
The Falls of Falloch is a notable waterfall on the River Falloch, located within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The site features 'Woven Sound,' a permanent art installation by architect John Kennedy consisting of a tubular steel structure that creates a viewing platform. The waterfall drops approximately 30 feet into a deep pool surrounded by rocky, wooded terrain. It is a designated stop on the West Highland Way, a long-distance walking route. The landscape is part of the Glen Falloch valley, characterized by steep hillsides and ancient oak woodlands. The site is managed as part of the Scottish Scenic Routes project, aimed at enhancing visitor experiences at notable viewpoints.

Wear waterproof footwear as the path down to the water's edge can be muddy and slippery even in dry weather.
Check local weather reports before visiting, as high rainfall can cause rapid water level increases.
The path from the parking area to the falls is relatively short but includes uneven terrain.
Attempting to swim in the pool, as the currents are deceptive and the water temperature remains dangerously cold year-round.
Stick to marked trails to protect sensitive bankside vegetation and avoid climbing on the metal art installation structure.
