Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. created in 1887. A tour of North Wales. 13 Swallow Falls.—There are upper and lower Falls. The view shewn is of the lower. The chasm, down which the river Llugy is here precipitated, is sixty feet wide. The wild magnificence of the overhanging trees, the dark colour of the rocks, and the rugged hollows into which the water falls, all add to the im¬pressiveness and grandeur of the scene. Tradition states that the spirit of Sir John Wynn, of Gwvdir who died in 1626, after a life of much wrong and cruelty, is con¬demned to remain beneath the waters of the lower Fall, where loud shrieks of agony may oftentimes be heard. The tourist, however, is not compelled to believe this story!
