The Falls of Acharn are a series of waterfalls in Scotland above the Loch Tay The lower falls are visible from the "Hermit's Cave", a folly built in the 18th century. It's thought it was built by Earl of Breadlabane, but historical evidence is thin. There is also a board walk across the higher falls. The falls were purportedly visited by Robert Burns, and William and Dorothy Wordsworth.
