Killin is situated just to the west of Loch Tay. At its centre is a stone bridge which carries the A827 across the River Dochart. Killin's history is in fact tied to the spectacular Falls Of Dochart, which flow under the bridge and through the village.

Those with an interest in history may find the ruins of Finlarig Castle in Killin, as well as the ruins of a chapel that acted as a mausoleum. Although the structural integrity of these ruins are somewhat precarious, they may still be observed from a distance on the walking track that runs through the village.
 
A visit to Killin wouldn't be complete without a drink at the Falls of Dochart Inn.  Famous for its food, real ales and candlelit bar (complete with its Highland Granny). Located at the end of the Killin Bridge the Inn over looks the world famous Falls of Docharts themselves. The Falls of Dochart Inn is the perfect venue to chill out and enjoy this unique location.

For lovers of home baking and well sourced, high quality foods, simply and unpretentiously prepared and presented then a visit to the original Old Smiddy Cafe and Bistro is well worth a visit.

Killin has wonderful views of  the Tarmachan Ridge, a panorama of mountains which form the western edge of the main Ben Lawers ridge that surrounds the north side of Loch Tay. Visitors to Killin will also find a wide range of local shops, an excellent golf club and excellent accommodations.
