County of Perth,-- Parish of Monzievaird and Strowan

"At the falls of Ochtertyre,
the Turret, about a mile north from the mansion
house of Ochtertyre, and in the bosom of a deep
and thickly planted dell, where this stream, as if struggling to find a passage, has worn
a chasm in the opposing and nearly meeting rocks, a beautiful cascade is formed, of
the height of thirty feet, over which the water, when swollen with rain, rushes with a
deafening roar. A bridge has been thrown across the stream a little below, and opposite
the fall, a grotto has been cut out of the rock by the late proprietor, and seated for
the accommodation of those who visit this enchanting spot."
