Old Photograph Cora Linn Falls Scotland

Old photograph of Cora Linn Falls on the River Clyde near New Lanark, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1802, William Wordsworth immortalized Corra Linn, the largest of the River Clyde waterfalls, in verse. Corra Linn has also been painted by a number of artists, including J. M. W. Turner. The name comes from the Gaelic " currach ", a marshy place. A local legend says that Cora was a daughter of King Malcolm II, who leapt to her death here whilst trying to escape imagined danger. Near Corra Linn is the Pavilion, built by Sir John Carmichael of Bonnington, probably in 1708. The Pavilion had mirrors on its back wall, and when the doors were opened visitors had the illusion of standing beneath the falls. The 15th century ruined Corra Castle is next to Corra Linn.
