Brown foamy water between mossy banks
Fairy Loup in flood

Fairy Loup is a waterfall located on Byre Burn, a tributary of River Esk, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.[1]

The waterfall's name originates in a local legend of "a fairy having leaped from one side to the other",[2] and is an example of a regional tradition of associating small streams with fairies.[3] This waterfall was one of several features near Langholm described in the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid.[4]

A 14.5-kilometre (9.0 mi) loop trail passing through Canonbie and Rowanburn gives access to the waterfall.[5] Fly-tipping has been a problem in the area.[6]
