Killin and The Falls of Dochart

At Killin and the lower end of the falls, the flow narrows and is directed through four channels of unequal width crossed by the Bridge of Dochart. This was first built in 1760, though part was later washed away in a flood and had to be rebuilt in 1831. It is difficult to believe that the river could ever have been fordable here and it seems likely that until the bridge was built the main road west from Killin followed the line of the very minor road that still runs for five miles along the north side of the valley before crossing the river near Ledcharrie.
