Hiking
Mercer Obelisk built in 1747 to commemorate Brigadier General William Mercer. The stone obelisk, rising impressively above the forested surroundings, offers hikers not only a slice of history but also a wonderful resting spot amidst beautiful Scottish scenery. A scenic highspot with panoramic views southeast over the landscape towards Bankfoot and Perth.
It’s a fairly easy hike mainly on rugged gravel, and makes for a great spot to pause, take in the views, and reflect on the area's rich past. You won't regret it.
The only downside is that it's a hike in and a reverse hike out.
