Situated near the Falls in the Breadablane Folk Centre are the 1300 year old healing stones of St Filan, representing 8 parts of the human body and according to legend, they are said to have medicinal properties in healing ailments of the body part that they represent by simply touching them. Adding to the town's Celtic tradition, The Killin Folk Music Festival in June is certainly worth a visit, scheduling an enchanting programme of impromptu jam sessions and live folk groups on stage playing anything from Scottish and Irish folk to bluegrass.
