Killin

Picturesque Killin has the Falls of Dochart, beautiful in fine weather and impressive when in spate. There are standing stones from the Bronze Age, as well as the Healing Stones of St. Fillan and the grave of the Celtic hero Fingal. Finlarig Castle has a beheading pit and hanging tree. The area provides good walks with views of Ben Lawers and Loch Tay, and a wide range of wildlife. Excellent areas for hillwalkers.

Ben Lawers is Perthshire's highest mountain at 1,214m (3,980 ft) with views from the Atlantic to the North Sea. In the Scottish National Trust's care are 3,374 hectares of the southern slopes of the Lawers range and 1,348 hectares of the Tarmachan range, noted for a rich variety of mountain plants. Birds include raven, ring-ouzel, red grouse, ptarmigan, dipper and curlew. There is also a nature trail, now fenced to exclude sheep to allow the restoration of the vegetation.
