Reekie Linn, a cataract of the river Isla, on the mutual border of Glenisla and Lintrathen parishes, W Forfarshire, 3¼ miles N of Alyth. The Isla, here traversing a gorge between cliffs 120 feet high, makes two falls of 60 and 20 feet; occasions a reverberation which echoes loudly up the flanking cliffs; and sends up from the abyss such clouds of spray as hang over it in almost perpetual smoke-like vapour. Fine masses of wood crown the cliffs; and a rustic tower, on the right side, commands a full view of the cataract.Ord. Sur., sh. 56, 1870.
