Linn of Tummel is a 19 hectare woodland property at the confluence of the rivers Garry and Tummel, near Pitlochry. It is owned and maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.
The name Linn of Tummel comes from the Scots Gaelic and means "pool of tumbling stream". The name comes from the fact that the River Tummel used to drop down over a fall to meet the River Garry; however, in 1950 the fall ceased when a new hydro-electric plant raised the level of both rivers and created Loch Faskally. Only the top of the falls is now visible.
The property includes an obelisk commemorating the visit of Queen Victoria in 1844.
The National Trust for Scotland have owned the Linn since 1944, when it was given to them by Dr George Freeland Barbour of Bonskeid.
