Between these falls, the river has formed three round cavities, having the appearance of large caldrons or boilers. In the first, the water is perpetually agitated as if it were boiling; in the second, it is covered with a constant foam ; in the third, which is the largest, being 22 feet in diameter, it appears as if spread out in a large cooler.

Several years ago, a gentleman fell into the same caldron, and was extricated with the greatest difficulty.

The
Caldron Linn, in short, is perhaps the greatest natural curiosity, and certainly one of the most sublime objects in Scotland. More than twenty years ago the following extraordinary occurrence happened at this place: a fox, which was hard pursued by a pack of hounds, led them along the banks of
