Mac Mac Falls, near Sabie, South Africa

 

This waterfall was originally a single stream, but gold miners blasted it with dynamite to divert the river in an attempt to work the rich gold-bearing reef over which it plunges.

At one time when gold was found here prospectors flocked to the area, including many Scots: hence, it is said, the name of the falls.
