The Spout of Garnock
River: River Garnock
Fall: 70 feet
NS28706092
Co-ordinates: 55°48’40"N, 4°44’7"W

The Spout of Garnock is a waterfall with a drop of about 70 feet on the River Garnock in the north of Ayrshire. It is the county’s highest waterfall.

Here the infant Garnock, yet just a mountain burn, tumbles off the hill-top and into a gorge, through which the river courses for several miles.

The waterfall is close to the source of the river, which is about a mile and a half to the north-west.[1] Just above the source is the summit Ayrshire’s county top, the Hill of Stake, is a mile and a half north-west of the Spout of Garnock.
