Faskally Forest

Faskally Forest is a woodland park in Perth and Kinross featuring mixed stands of conifers and broadleaf trees positioned along the shores of Loch Dunmore. The paths wind through diverse tree growth, connecting different sections of the forest and offering varied views throughout.

The forest was established in 1953 as a recreational space within the larger Tay Forest Park system. This creation reflected broader efforts to develop forest areas across the region during that period.

The forest attracts visitors seeking direct contact with Scottish woodlands and their wildlife. Local communities use the trails regularly for walking and bird watching, particularly during quieter seasons.

The forest features marked trails suited to different fitness levels with parking areas at main entry points. Information boards at these locations help visitors select appropriate routes and understand the landscape.

During autumn months, the slopes display distinctive color patterns created by the contrast between evergreen conifers and yellowing broadleaf trees. This seasonal transformation makes the woodland particularly visually appealing during that time of year.
