Killin and the Falls of Dochart

Gaelic oral tradition

The summary comes from the Wikipedia article on Killin and the Breadalbane Folklore Centre entry, which gather beliefs from the wider Breadalbane area rather than one sighting. No particular loch or date is given in the sources used, so the marker is placed at the village.

As with the kelpies of Loch Venachar and Loch Chon, these are traditional creatures used to explain and warn against drowning.
