Tay Forest Park

A wonderfully varied patchwork of forests across the most scenic parts of Highland Perthshire, featuring some of the country’s best-loved viewpoints and tallest trees.

Discover legends about demons and dragons, saints and queens along woodland trails with unforgettable loch and mountain views.

You’ll be following in the footsteps of legendary plant hunters, lairds and foresters. Tay Forest Park’s soaring woods are their living legacy, alive with wildlife and rich with history. Don’t miss nearby Allean Forest, where you’ll find an 18th century farmstead and ruined Pictish ring fort.

Choose Faskally near Pitlochry for easy strolls through magnificent specimen trees. Find follies and viewpoints amongst a cathedral of trees planted by the Dukes of Atholl at Craigvinean. Enjoy peaceful burnside and woodland trails with wildlife sculptures at Carie beside Loch Rannoch, or head for the fort at Drummond Hill.

Highland Perthshire is composed of exciting and dramatic landscapes steeped in history. None more so than the mountains and glens around Loch Rannoch, Loch Tummel and Loch Tay. Here you can find once mighty hillforts, still commanding fine views over their ancient dominions. Explore further and you can find evidence of many smaller ringforts, duns and crannogs, the fortified homesteads of Iron Age farmers and their kin.
