Waterfalls to Explore in Perth and Kinross

Falls of Acharn

The Falls of Acharn is a series of waterfalls with a total height of 24.5 metres set in a steep wooded gorge, are a popular tourist attraction on the nearby Acharn Burn south of the hamlet. The steep Acharn Falls Walk is about 1 mile straight up and down from the village, and is a dangerous place to walk dogs without leads, but provides scenic views of the falls above the village.

Falls of Bruar

The Falls of Bruar were a series of at least three pretty significant waterfalls each with a distinct character all their own. They have been a tourist attraction since the 18th century and were immortalized in a poem by Robert Burns, The Humble Petition of Bruar Water to the Noble Duke of Atholl, supposedly from the river itself entreating the Duke to plant some trees in the then barren landscape.
