When Ruskin, and others, visited these waterfalls, just west of Inverness, the were described as an example of the beauty of nature. However, Ruskin wasn't keenon the visit amd makes no comment about them. He says -
My mother wants me to see the Bay of Cromarty and the Falls of Kilmorock. I consent sulkily to be taken to Scotland with that object. Papa and mamma, wistfully watching the effect on my mind, show their Scotland to me. I see, on my own quest, Craig-Ellachie,2 and the Lachin-y-Gair forests, and finally reach the Bay of Cromarty and Falls of Kilmorock, doubtless now the extreme point of my northern discoveries on the round earth. I admit, generously, the Bay of Cromarty and the Falls to be worth coming all that way to see; but beg papa and mamma to observe that it is twenty miles’ walk, in bogs, to the top of Ben Wyvis, that the town of Dingwall is not like Milan or Venice,—and that I think we have seen enough of Scotland.

Unfortunately, in 1950, a dam was completed which appears to use the solid rock of the falls as its foundations. Thus, the falls are completely obliterated.
