Bruar Falls

The falls on the Bruar Water were visited by Robert Burns in September 1787. There were no trees by the burn then, leading to Burns' poem 'The Humble Petition of the Bruar Water' which prompted the Fourth Duke of Atholl to begin planting along the banks of the gorge. The woods here were destroyed in the Tay Bridge storm of 1879, but were replanted. Dorothy Wordsworth and J M W Turner are amongst the well-known visitors that the falls attracted. (From the entry on The Falls of Bruar in 'The Waterfalls of Scotland' by Louis Stott, Aberdeen University Press 1987).
