The infamous Cargill's Leap
Cargill’s Leap can be found by walking along the banks of the River Ericht. About a quarter of a mile up from the Brig o’ Blair, at a part of the river known as the Keith Falls, there is a viewing platform that allows visitors to look down on this treacherous piece of water. An information board explains that it was here that local man Donald Cargill leapt across the river to escape from pursuing government troops.
