Loup of Fintry

The Loup of Fintry is a dramatic waterfall on the River Endrick, situated roughly two miles east of the village of Fintry in Stirling, Scotland.

The falls drop approximately 29 metres (94 feet) into a side-on gorge carved between the Campsie Fells and the Fintry Hills — "loup" being the Scots word for leap.

The River Endrick rises on the slopes of the Gargunnock and Fintry Hills, passes through Carron Valley Reservoir, and then makes this spectacular plunge before continuing westward to Loch Lomond.

Considered one of the finest waterfalls in the Scottish Lowlands, the Loup of Fintry is best experienced after a period of heavy local rainfall.

Because the Carron Valley Reservoir upstream intercepts much of the catchment, flow can be reduced in dry conditions.

The falls are accessible via a short walk from the B818 road, making them a rewarding stop for visitors passing through this quiet corner of central Scotland.
