England-Scotland Day 5 (Part 3) – Killin and the Falls of Dochart

7 April 2010

This part of the A827 is also known as Dochart Road and it led us to Killin and the Falls of Dochart. We cannot missed it as the road passes next to the river. We parked our car by the river bank and walked forward to view the Falls of Dochart.

This is a very fast flowing river and the scenery was awesome!

The above photo shows the Falls of Dochart at Killin and the scenic views of the Scottish Highlands.

This narrow bridge is part of the A827. Only one car passable at any point in time. We walked across the stone bridge and took more photos of the scenery and old water wheel.

Water wheel making use of the fast flowing river to do some useful work. Looking at this wheel, it reminded me of a scene from the movie “The Eagle has Landed”.

Back to our car to continue our journey towards Kenmore, our next stop.

The scenic A827 continued to Kenmore and we had to drive across the raging river using the narrow stone bridge we saw earlier.
