It was used as a bank until the 1960s and the vault has been retained as a unique feature of the breakfast room! Base your holiday in Killin and you'll find there's much to see and do. You can drive around the beautiful countryside visiting distilleries, museums, historic sites, gardens and much more. The scenery is simply spectacular in whichever direction you travel. One of the most unique visitor attractions locally is The Crannog Centre on Loch Tay. This authentic recreation is based on excavations of these ancient loch dwellings which were built here thousands of years ago. The village of Killin has a wide variety of shops, a bank, cash points, excellent Tourist Information and Folklore Centre, good quality restaurants and tea rooms, launderette, bus, post bus, taxi services, garage and recovery service. The famous Falls of Dochart are a two minute walk from Drumfinn Guest House and are popular with visitors all year round. Historically, Killin was home to the Campbell clan and also Clan McNab (whose burial site can be visited via the Falls of Dochart Bridge). Pipe bands parade through the village some weekends during the summer and the Killin Highland Games are held in August. The church in Killin was rebuilt in 1700s but the original church is thought to date back to the 9th century. In the church is a seven sided font, thought to be over 1000 years old and the only seven sided font discovered in Scotland. The first minister of the new church was the Rev. James Stewart who translated the New Testament into Scottish Gaelic and whose ministry had far reaching consequences for the whole of Scotland. Killin was featured in the films The Thirty-nine Steps and Monty Python's Holy Grail.
