Deil’s Cauldron, Comrie, Perthshire
The conservation village of Comrie is the starting point for a perfect school holiday walk, short and sweet and with plenty to keep the whole family entertained for a few hours.
The main attraction is the Deil’s Cauldron (Devil’s Kettle), a dramatic waterfall which roars down a narrow gorge on the River Lednock, boiling and hissing as it plunges into a deep pool. Legend has it that it was the haunt of a water elf who lured victims to their doom.
Further downstream is a second cascade, the Wee Cauldron, a much gentler affair but still worth the short diversion off the main path.
