Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
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
 .
