ABERFELDY.
This village, which has been extending lately as a place of summer resort, is built upon the Urlar Burn, near its junction with the River Tay, which is crossed here by a bridge of five arches. A mile above are the picturesque Falls of Moness, popularly supposed to be the scene of Burns well-known lines on the "Birks of Aberfeldy." Not only, however, are there no birches at all there now, but there were none even in Dorothy Wordsworth's time, and it is nearly certain that the poet has confused the name with Abergeldie (q.v.), where the birches really are very fine. Aberfeldy is said to be the place where the Black Watch regiment was first embodied. About eight miles distant, in the churchyard at Fortingal, are the remains of a yew 2,000 years old, the oldest tree in Great Britain.
