Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILLIN , a
village
  and parish of Perthshire,
Scotland
 , at the
south
 -western extremity of Loch Tay, 4 M. N.E. of Killin Junction on a branch line of the Callander & Oban railway. Pop. of parish (1901), 1423. It is situated near the confluence of the rivers and glens of the Dochart and Lochay, and is a popular tourist centre, having communication by steamer with Kenmore at the other end of the lake, and thence by coach to Aberfeldy, the terminus of a branch of the Highland railway. It has manufactures of tweeds. In a field near the
village
  a stone marks the site of what is known as Fingal's Grove. 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. Finlarig Castle, a picturesque
mass
  of ivy-clad ruins, was a stronghold of the Campbells of Glenorchy, and several earls of Breadalbane were buried in ground adjoining it, where the modern
mausoleum
  of the family stands. 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.
