Falls of Dochart - Dramatic river falls in the heart of Killin.

The Falls of Dochart are one of the most picturesque natural landmarks in the village of Killin, located within the stunning Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. These powerful cascades run through the centre of the village where the River Dochart meets the River Lochay, creating a dramatic and photogenic setting that attracts visitors throughout the year.

The falls are crossed by a historic narrow stone bridge with multiple arches that carries the A827 road into Killin. From the bridge and surrounding viewpoints, visitors can watch the water rushing over rocky islands and around the small wooded islets scattered throughout the river. The changing water levels mean the falls look different with every visit, from gentle flows in summer to powerful torrents after heavy rainfall.

The scenic location at the western end of Killin makes the falls a perfect place for a short stop while exploring the Highlands and the national park. Visitors often combine a visit with a stroll around the village, a walk along the riverbanks, or a journey to nearby Loch Tay.
