Photos
Mighty Douglas Fir. Apparently Britains tallest tree at 64.6m or 212ft, a Douglas Fir planted in the 1860's. (Though there seem to be about 4 separate claimants for Britains tallest tree!) Just one of the many fine old Douglas Firs and Larches amongst others at the River Braan near Dunkeld planted by the Dukes of Atholl.
Black Linn Falls
March sunshine in Craigvinean Forest. Looking north east along an old boundary wall, which matches up with the 1940s plantation boundary.
Creag an Uamhaidh. A track skirts the south east slopes of this bare hill top which rises out of Craigvinean Forest.
