Climb to an Iron Age hillfort with views over Strathtay

This part of Scotland was long occupied by the Picts - the Celtic tribe who built the prehistoric fort of Caisteal Dubh (The Black Castle). Climb through juniper trees to the remains of the fort. Views over the River Tay open up, showing why this was such an important defensive position.
