Eas Forsa

Eas Forsa is a waterfall on the island of Islay in Scotland.[1] It lies in woodland between Loch Allan and the Sound of Islay about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of Port Askaig.

The name is probably tautologous: eas is Gaelic for waterfall, and fors or foss is also Norse for waterfall.[2]
