Achness Falls
Achness Falls, also known as the Achness Waterfall or Cassley Falls, is a waterfall located on the River Cassley in Sutherland, Scotland, near Rosehall and Invercassley.〔 Its name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic ''Ach-an-eas'', the "field of the waterfall".〔
The falls descend a narrow gorge with the upper fall being a drop. The lower fall is a thin broken sheet of water down about of rock and when in spate this becomes a torrent which has several pools providing a means for salmon to ascend. The location is the type locality and best-studied area of the Achness Thrust, a thrust fault which dips 40 to 50° to the south at the falls. Present nearby are the ruins of a broch and a more modern chapel.〔 By the side of the river is an old cemetery and there are woodland walks.
Atlantic salmon fishing on the River Cassley has a long history. Achness Falls is a temporary barrier to the fish each spring; they do not advance beyond it until the water warms above .〔 In the late 19th century, plans to destroy the waterfall to improve the salmon run were considered.〔
