Eas a' Chual Aluinn in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, is Britain's highest waterfall with a sheer drop of 658 ft. When in full flow it is over three times higher than Niagara Fall.

The waterfall can be reached by a two mile walk across boggy ground from the road three miles south of Kylesku in Sutherland, Scotland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible. The same boat also runs trips to Kerrachar Gardens at the other end of the loch.
