- The Hermitage Woodland Walk - This enchanting Perthshire forest was originally crafted as a pleasure ground in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Towering Douglas firs line the paths leading to the thundering Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan cascades into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the charming folly known as Ossian’s Hall, constructed in 1757 as the centerpiece of an extensive designed landscape. Adorned with mirrors, sliding panels, and paintings, it has been restored to recreate the illusions of shock, surprise, and wonder that were the original design’s intent. It offers a splendid spot to reflect on the roaring, tumbling falls.
This forest is home to the rare and elusive red squirrels, and if visiting in autumn, you might witness salmon ascending the falls to their breeding grounds.
