Secret messages from the past
Around 4-5,000 years ago someone chipped out a pattern on this rock. Cup and ring markings like these can be found throughout the area. What does this rock art mean? No one knows, but there are plenty of theories. Perhaps they marked boundaries or were memorials to the dead.
The flow of time
Water has turned the wheels of a mill by the Falls of Dochart in Killin for more than a thousand years. St Fillan was the first to build a mill on this spot. Find out about him and the mysterious legends that surround him at the Breadalbane Folklore Centre based in the mill.
Campbell stronghold
Breadalbane’s glens were once scattered with castles. Many were strongholds of the Campbell clan. The clan’s power and influence increased throughout the 16th and 17th centuries and stretched from Loch Tay to the Argyll coast. Most of the castles have disappeared or are in ruin, except Edinample Castle, now a private home.
