The Hermitage, National Trust park in Perth and Kinross, Scotland
The Hermitage features numerous paths alongside the River Braan, leading visitors through a forest of Douglas firs toward Black Linn Falls.
John Murray, the 3rd Duke of Atholl, established this park in the mid-18th century as a pleasure garden for the nearby Dunkeld House estate.
Ossian's Hall contains a full-size portrait of the mystical poet, with mirrors and architectural elements amplifying the sound of the waterfall.
The hiking trail starts at the Hermitage Car Park off the A9, offering a 4-mile round trip through varied natural landscapes.
Douglas firs planted at the end of the 18th century grew to exceptional heights, with one specimen reaching 61 meters before falling in 2017.
