Tips

The Falls of Bruar were immortalised by legendary Scots Romantic poet Robert Burns in his ‘The Humble Petition of Bruar Water’. This wonderful series of cascades can be explored thanks to a network of footpaths and two footbridges.

Interestingly, Burns' poem was written from the perspective of the tumbling waters and urged the 4th Duke of Atholl to landscape the surroundings ‘wi’ tow’ring trees, and bonnie spreading bushes’. The fruits of his labours are clear to see today, as the area is resplendent with greenery.

This viewpoint is on the path up the east side of the river and has the best view of the upper falls.
