The area boasts some of the tallest trees in Scotland, living up to its name of Big Tree Country. These vast woodlands nurture a wealth of wildlife from fungi and lichens to butterflies and rare woodland birds. Clearly marked paths allow you to wander through the trees, connecting with the nature that surrounds you.

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) project supported the creation of a wildlife leaflet designed to show visitors the best places to go and see the spectacular wildlife of Perthshire and Angus, please click
