Blairessan Spout, located in Stirlingshire, is a picturesque waterfall nestled within the scenic countryside of Scotland. Situated near the village of Blairessan, this natural wonder is a popular attraction for both locals and tourists alike.

The waterfall is formed by the Blairessan Burn, a small river that flows down from the surrounding hills and eventually cascades over a series of rocky ledges. Blairessan Spout stands at an impressive height of approximately 15 meters, creating a mesmerizing spectacle as the water plummets into a deep pool below.

Visitors to Blairessan Spout can enjoy a tranquil and serene environment, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of rushing water. The area is a haven for nature enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and photography.

To reach Blairessan Spout, visitors can embark on a short but scenic walk from the village of Blairessan. The trail winds through beautiful woodlands and meadows, providing glimpses of wildlife and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

It is worth noting that the waterfall is at its most impressive after heavy rainfall, when the water thunders down with even greater force. However, caution should be exercised during wet weather, as the path leading to the waterfall can become slippery.

Blairessan Spout offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to connect with nature and experience the breathtaking beauty of this hidden gem in Stirlingshire.

Katrine Aqueduct at Killearn These four nondescript trapdoors near the main road contain a secret, one that doesn't even appear on the OS map. These service hatches provide access to the underground aqueduct that provides Glasgow's water supply - from Loch Katrine, to Milngavie Water Works. The aqueduct was opened by Queen Victoria at the turn of the century, and was a major engineering feat with most of the work (and route) being invisible (unless you knew where to look). The next access to the aqueduct southwards is within the village of Blanefield.
