Overview

This is a pleasant stroll from Birnam along the banks of the River Tay, past some ancient trees, to The Hermitage at Dunkeld. It goes through The Hermitage, past Ossian's Hall and Cave, then loops back round through woodland to Birnam. Hopefully we will witness the trees in their full spectacular autumn colours. There will also be an opportunity to spot deer and other wildlife.
