Beech Hedge at Meiklour
Perthshire Big Tree Country features many famous trees including the Fortingall Yew, the oldest living thing in Europe, one of the tallest trees in Britain at the Hermitage near Birnam, and the highest hedge in the world at Meikleour. Perhaps it is these natural wonders that have provided inspiration for Perthshire’s pioneering gardening tradition that goes back several centuries.
The Scottish Crannog Centre can be found beside Kenmore on the banks of Loch Tay. . A crannog was a kind of Iron Age dwelling built out from the shore of a loch on stilts. This one is authentically constructed, based on the archaeological evidence from excavations around other crannog sites. Ancient crafts are demonstrated, along with plenty of hands-on activities.
