In the real guide book "Scottish WW" there's is no mention of a "head banger" there is a description of the Witches Cauldron which talks of a Undercut left wall,

The two features of note on the river that day where the Witches Cauldron and the constriction, these are the only two noted in the guide book, and this was the main one before the constriction,

Headbanger! (the rapid - not the paddler)

[rydalweb]

@Nastyswimmer Headbanger is on the Roy, This was the Spean,

[rydalweb]

@KevinFoynes1 I have seen a few in my time not that he will admit it ;-)

@rydalweb see ukriversguide on the web for both Spean and Roy Headbangers. There is (or was) a headbanger on the Roy too (it collapsed). Witches' Cauldron on the Spean is downstream of the Spean Headbanger on a blind right hand corner.

@rydalweb Headbanger is on the roy gorge and this rapid 'Witches Cauldron' is also known to some as head banger although in the guidebook it is called witches cauldron, we all know that multiple names can be the case for many rapids.

There's a headbanger on both the Roy and the Spean. (or rather there WAS one on the Roy - it collapsed last year).
