Falls of Shin
Falls of Shin
Falls of Shin is a waterfall on the River Shin, in northern Scotland, near the villages of Bonar Bridge and Lairg.[1]
Visitor centre, 2008
Falls of Shin had a popular visitor centre, managed as part of Balnagown Estates, a company owned by former Harrods boss Mohamed Al-Fayed. This included a restaurant, a branch of Harrods, and a waxwork model of Al-Fayed. The visitor centre was destroyed by a fire in May 2013.[2] Balnagown Estates have since been working with the Kyle of Sutherland Development Trust to develop a new visitor attraction.[3]
