An island in the Dochart (which is crossed at Killin by a bridge of five arches) is the ancient burial-place of the clan Macnab .

Three miles up the Lochay, which rises in the hills beyond the forest of Mamlorn and has a course of 15 m., the river forms a graceful cascade . The Dochart, issuing from Loch Dochart, flows for 13 in. in a north-easterly direction and falls into Loch Tay . The ruined castle on an islet in the loch once belonged to the Campbells of Lochawe .
