Canyoning in Scotland is one of the most amazing adventures you can have. Scottish canyons have ben carved and eroded over millions of years and are stunning to behold. They consist of jumps, slides, flumes, abseils, via ferrata and more! It is suitable for beginners through to the most experienced canyoneers out there. It is also suited for families, kids, adults, groups, individuals… the list goes on – in short we believe everyone should experience canyoning at some point in their life. Full of adrenaline it is an activity that is sure to be remembered and here at Highland Outdoor Adventures we are truly passionate about providing first class experiences to all our clients so we only use the very best locations at the whole of Scotland.

You can easily get to it from Inverness, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Aviemore or even the cities further south like Glasgow, Perth, Edinburgh. We will examine the best location in the whole of Scotland for you to go as below.

This is an easily accessible spot for people to Canyon at and is rightly popular amongst those who know it! It remains one of our most popular activities and has done almost indefinitely. It has incredibly long flumes and jumps up to 20 ft (again one company says 30 to make them sound better but we prefer to be honest…) There are rock slides that are 20ft long as well and an abseil through and behind a waterfall to jump through it finishing in the stunning pool below.

This experience is suitable for confident youths who are strong in the water and up for the adventure/challenge aged 10 and up but we guarantee adults will absolutely love this as well!
