Good gravel tracks and dirt for Trail MTB Explorers on an adventure.

Be careful in winter weather on these tracks. it is an elevated area, snow & ice capped. Two days after storm Eowyn January 2025, there had been snow fall and black ice was in loads of locations on these tracks. Speed was down considerably, being careful on how brakes are used. Warmer months this is a good location for MTB riding

Probably the best area to use as a base, the car park will fit maybe 14 cars in. Many trails start from this location, quick and easy to get onto the hills from here. Dog walkers and hikers do use this area commonly also

There some good tracks up beside the tower, mint views of Perth down below and the river. Mint viewing point

Kinnoull Hill Tower is a structure situated on the edge of a high hill overlooking the River Tay. Built in the early 19th century, it consists of a round tower set between walls. The tower is set in wooded landscaped grounds, with trails through mature beech and pine forests. There is also an arboretum and excellent views across the Tay Valley. The dramatic cliffs at the southern end of Kinnoull Hill reminded the 9th Earl of Kinnoull of the lofty rock formations along the Rhine Valley in Germany and of fairytale castles that do not have rocky outcrops. He felt that Perth needed its own version of these Rhine castles, so he built towers on the summit of Binn Hill and on Kinnoull Hill. In addition to the tower, the Earl built a large stone table for use as a picnic area. Some sources attribute the Tower to Lord Grey of Kirfauns or the 11th Earl of Kinnoull. https://www.britainexpress.com/attractions.htm?attraction=1164

The hilltop has become known as a suicide hotspot. In 2015, it was "highlighted as a national area of concern for completed suicides". In the same year, 20-year-old Forfar Athletic player Jack Syme committed suicide at Kinnoull Hill. In early January 2002, Daniela Smith, a 31-year-old mother of two, pushed her children off the hilltop while they were strapped into a pushchair before throwing herself. Their bodies were discovered on a ledge about 100 feet (30 m) below the summit on 15 January. The bodies of two men were found under the hill in 2014.
