Kinnoull is a real jewel in Perth's crown. Trails wander through mature woodland of beech and pine to magnificent views over the river Tay. There's also an arboretum (tree collection) here.
The trails on Kinnoull Hill itself are ideal for family outings and picnics. An ancient right of way called the Coronation Road links the forest to Scone. The name suggests it might have been used by ancient kings on their way to be crowned.
Looking for an event space? The Kinnoull Shed is the perfect base for activities in the forest.
We manage the woodland on Kinnoull Hill, including Deuchny Wood, jointly with Perth and Kinross Council, in partnership with the Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park Group.
