KENMORE  , a

village and parish of Perthshire, Scotland, 6 m . W. of Aberfeldy . Pop. of parish (19o1), 1271 . It is situated at the foot of Loch Tay, near the point where the river Tay leaves the lake . Taymouth Castle, the seat of the Marquess of Breadalbane, stands near the base of Drummond Hill in a princely park through which flows the Tay . It is a stately four-storeyed edifice with corner towers and a central pavilion, and was built in 18o1 (the west wing being added in 1842) on the site of the mansion erected in 158o for Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy . The old house was called Balloch (Gaelic, ballad', " the outlet of a lake ") . Two miles S.W. of Kenmore are the Falls of the Acharn, 8o ft. high . When Wordsworth and his sister visited them in 1803 the grotto at the cascade was fitted up to represent a " hermit's mossy cell." At the village of Fortingall, on the north side of Loch Tay, are the shell of a yew conjectured to be 3000 years old and the remains of a Roman camp . Glenlyon House was the home of Campbell of Glenlyon, chief agent in the massacre of Glencoe . At Garth, 21 M . N.E., are the ruins of an ancient castle, said to have been a stronghold of Alexander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch (1343-1405), in close proximity to the modern mansion built for Sir Donald Currie .
