A nice walk along the riverbank passes through pleasant mixed woodland to the Falls of Ericht, a narrow stretch of the river that incorporates Cargill's Leap. This is the site of a daring feat by a 17th century Covenanter who is said to have escaped from the government troops by leaping across the river. (Some think tthis didn't happen)
For many years brave local people tried to emulate Cargill's feat - most were, however, unsuccessful and, failing to reach the safety of the opposite bank, fell into the icy river beneath! In 1960 the Town Council widened the river with explosives to discourage dangerous attempts to copy Cargill’s exploit. So the `leap` you see today is much wider than in Donald's time.
Recently repaired viewing platform takes you closer to the water. In my opinion you need to see it in spate (Flood) to appreciate the power of water
