Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park
40 minute walk from Perth station · Stirling, Central and Fife · Free entry
Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park is a scenic destination located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. This award-winning park features a 222-metre summit and is managed through a partnership between Forestry and Land Scotland and the local council.
The park is home to Kinnoull Tower, an eighteenth-century folly built by the 9th Earl of Kinnoull to resemble Rhine Valley castles. Visitors can explore a historical hollow known as the Windy Gowle and find fourteen woodland sculptures reflecting local plants and animals.
From the summit, you can enjoy expansive views of the River Tay, the Sidlaw Hills, and the Carse of Gowrie. The landscape offers sightings of historic mansions and farms, stretching as far as the shores of Fife and the distant smoke of Dundee.
