Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Acharn, Scottish Gaelic: Àth a' Chàirn meaning Field of the Cairns, a hamlet in Highland Perthshire. The hamlet here was built in the early 19th century to house workers from the surrounding estates. A mill was constructed to harness the power of the nearby Acharn Burn. William Wordsworth is known to have visited the falls near here in 1803 with his sister Dorothy, who noted in her diary the beautiful view available of Loch Tay from the falls.
