Devil's Cauldron
Devil's Cauldron
An abyss at the summit of the peak of Tenerife, Canary Islands. A stone cast into the gulf resounds as though a copper vessel were being struck by a huge hammer; thus the Spaniards gave it its name. The inhabitants of the island believed that the infernal regions were there, where the souls of the wicked dwell forever.
There is another Devil's Cauldron in Perthshire, Scotland, a waterfall on the River Lednock near Loch Earn.
