Perthshire is "Big Tree Country". Visit some of the most remarkable trees and woodlands anywhere in Europe. Travel along our leafy country roads and explore remnants of Scotland's ancient wildwood, discover where modern forestry began in this country, marvel at the stunning specimens they introduced from around the world and perhaps have a close encounter with some of our woodland wildlife.
Just a short walk from the city of perth is Europe's oldest tree, the world's highest hedge, Britain's tallest tree, the sole survivor from Shakespeare's ' Birnam Wood ', and Europe's oldest living thing (the Fortingall Yew est. 3000 - 5000 years old).
