Bracklinn Falls
Route description
From Bracklinn Falls car park on Bracklinn Road, just north of Callander town centre, follow the way marked route to the gradually sloping downhill section. The roar of the Falls can clearly be heard through the woods. As the path nears the Keltie Water take the hairpin bend and descend slowly to Bracklinn Bridge over the falls.
Across the bridge turn left to continue the circuit. Climb the steeper section of path to the forest road and follow it through the forest. When it opens out, high above the river, there are good views of Ben Ledi, Stuc a’ Chroin and Ben Vorlich, mountains to the north of the Highland Boundary Fault.
The Scout Pool is about 200m below a second bridge over the Keltie Water and can be reached by a very rough path along the edge of the gorge.
Cross the bridge up to the minor road. Turn left and enjoy Callander’s countryside for the return back to the Bracklinn car park.
