Eas Chia-aig is a series of falls down the Abhainn Chia-aig as it flows southwards down Gleann Cia-aig to its foot just to the east of Loch Arkaig in the highlands of Scotland.
The falls are a series of tiers with the largest being the bottom two which are clearly visible from the road and picnic area to the south. The bottom tier falls into a wide basin known as the Witches Pool. The falls were featured in the film Rob Roy.
The falls can be reached along the single track B8005 which runs up the western side of Loch Lochy before turning sharply left and heading westwards along the Mile Dorcha (Dark Mile), a wooded valley. At the end of this just before the bridge, a car park is situated on the right, and the falls are signposted a few yards along the road. A hikers path runs up the eastern side to the top although the best views are from the bridge at the bottom.
