Deil's Cauldron Walk

4 miles (6.5 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This walk visits Deil's Cauldron waterfall in Comrie in Perth and Kinross.
You can reach the falls by following a footpath north through Laggan Wood and along the River Lednock from Comrie. The falls are an impressive sight with a cascading waterfall and several pools below resembling a boiling cauldron.
On the western side of the river there's also the climb to the Melville Monument where you can enjoy some wonderful views over the area.
To continue your walking around Comrie head west along the St Fillans to Comrie Railway Path to visit Loch Earn. There's a splendid viewpoint here and the Lochearnhead to St Fillans Railway Walk to try as well.
