Vista do Kinnoull Hill

Kinnoull is a real jewel in Perth’s crown. Trails wander through mature beech and pine forests to stunning views of the River Tay. There is an arboretum – a collection of trees – too, where you can check out trees that you can grow in your own garden.The trails on Kinnoull Hill itself are great for family walks and picnics. If you’re looking for some mountain bike action, try the nearby Deuchny Hill Bike Park. Deuchny is also a top destination for horse riding and longer cycle routes: an ancient right of way called Coronation Road connects the forest with Scone. The name suggests it may have been used by ancient kings on their way to their coronations.Perth and Kinross Council manage Kinnoull in partnership with Forestry and Land Scotland.forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/kinnoull-hill

Standing at 222m with views in all directions this is a great place to walk to from Perth. On the summit is a trig point, stone table and bench. The tower a short distance away is a folly built in the 18th century.

Excellent south-looking views over the River Tay with the Ochil Hills in the far distance.
