Our penultimate day in the Highlands on the April Drumnadrochit trip, the first of 2 drone flights and the penultimate waterfall of the holiday, the Falls of Shin near Lairg in Sutherland.
We arrived for 9am, just as 2 coaches were loading and leaving, which meant we had the place almost to ourselves for 15 minutes on a cold and grey day, although the recent wet weather did mean the falls were in reasonable spate, all that was mising was the Salmon - we were about 4 weeks too early, perhas we shall return in June on our way to Orkney!
Lots of free car parking, but the visitor centre is closed due to lack of staff and there are curently no toilets on site.

From VISITSCOTLAND
The Falls of Shin visitor attraction is famous for being one of the best places in Scotland to view salmon leaping upstream. Free admission and parking.
Follow the winding road up through Achany Glen, alongside the meandering River Shin to an opening in the pine forest where the majestic Atlantic salmon leap up the thundering falls in a valiant attempt to get back up stream.
Every year throughout the summer, the fish return from the open ocean, swimming up the Dornoch Firth and the Kyle of Sutherland to try to reach further up the River Shin to where they were spawned. However, before they reach their destination they must pass the powerful torrent of water at the Falls.
Standing on the viewing platform you can watch the salmon as they try to leap clear of the water. Some manage to pass on their first attempt while others have to jump again and again. From the platform there are also fine views both up and down the River Shin, a popular fishing destination in the North of Scotland. (The best time to spot the salmon is between May – September.)
