Keltney Burn, a rivulet of Fortingall parish, Breadalbane, NW Perthshire, rising at an altitude of 2700 feet above sea-level on the northern side of Carn Mairg. Thence it runs 53/8 miles east-by-northward to the boundary with Dull parish, next 3½ miles south-south-eastward along that boundary, and falls into the river Lyon 1½ mile above that river's confluence with the Tay. It mostly traverses wild, rugged, romantic scenery; and, in the vicinity of Coshieville inn, it makes a series of picturesque falls, the highest of them issuing from a dark narrow opening, and leaping 60 feet over perpendicular rocks into a deep gloomy dell.Ord. Sur., sh. 55, 1869.
