It is owned and maintained by the National Trust for Scotland, and is adjacent to the Trust's property at Killiecrankie. The name 'Linn of Tummel' comes from the Scots Gaelic and means ’pool of tumbling stream’.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Linn of Tummel )〕 The name comes from the fact that the River Tummel used to drop down over a fall to meet the River Garry; however, in 1950 the fall ceased when a new hydro-electric plant raised the level of both rivers and created Loch Faskally.〔 The property includes a network of over of footpaths,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Linn Of Tummel )〕 amongst which is an obelisk commemorating the visit of Queen Victoria in 1844.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Gazetteer for Scotlan )〕 The wildlife include pine martens and otters, while the flora includes pearl-bordered fritillary and lily of the valley.〔 The National Trust for Scotland have owned the Linn since 1944, when it was given to the Trust by Dr George Freeland Barbour of Bonskeid.〔 ==References==
