Bairdstavel at the falls of Dochart
THE FALLS OF DOCHART
What a great stop when heading north. The falls are stunning in any weather. In the summer you are able to sit with cold drink on the banks of the Dochart. In 2010 we stopped on returning from a weekend in Pitlochry. Another time we headed up to see the charity duck race.
The Falls of Dochart are situated on the River Dochart at Killin in Stirlingshire, Scotland at the western end of Loch Tay. A bridge crosses over the river just as you enter Killin giving a fabulous view of the falls as they cascade down over the rocks and around the island of Inchbuie, which is the traditional burial place of the MacNab clan.
