Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Devil's Cauldron

Devil's Cauldron, a wild and very romantic chasm, on the mutual boundary of Comrie and Monzievaird parishes, Perthshire, 1¼ mile N of Comrie village. Lednock Water traverses it; and 'the stream, after cutting its path through a black crag, the sides of which it has polished to the appearance of ebony, throws itself impetuously into a basin, where it hisses, and foams, and shrieks, and writhes, like a demon newly plunged into Tartarus.'
