Linn of Tummel

The name Linn of Tummel comes from the Scots Gaelic and means "pool of tumbling stream".

[2] In 1910, an early fish pass was blasted through the rock on the northern bank, to allow spawning fish to more easily bypass the falls; however it became obsolete when the Tummel hydro-electric power scheme was built.

[3] The property includes a network of more than 30 miles (48 km) of footpaths,[4] amongst which is an obelisk commemorating the visit of Queen Victoria in 1844.

[4] The National Trust for Scotland have owned the Linn since 1944, when it was given to them by Dr George Freeland Barbour of Bonskeid.
