The Hermitage (National Trust for Scotland)

A truly stunning place to visit, especially in autumn! 🍂 The Hermitage near Dunkeld is full of breathtaking natural beauty, with towering ancient trees, colourful autumn leaves, and peaceful forest walks along the River Braan. The sound of the waterfalls and the view from Ossian’s Hall are unforgettable, especially when the sunlight filters through the golden leaves. The area is beautifully maintained by the National Trust for Scotland, with clean paths, benches, and great spots for photography. Perfect for families, couples, and nature lovers who want to enjoy Scotland’s woodland magic and fall colours at their best. 🌲🍁📸

Beautiful walks all well signposted. The viewing point for the waterfall and the cave were two stunning focal points. Very photogenic. We went early and had plenty of parking but when we returned to go home it was one out, one in. Take some money with you as there is a super wee coffee cabin selling fresh donuts. They were eaten guilt free after our walk.

Absolutely loved it. I was in a mobility scooter with my sister and we managed around most of the area. Stunning scenery all round. I especially loved the rushing sound of the waterfall. As you approach and go thru The Hermitage, it's so unexpected what's on the other side. The tall, very tall trees are amazing. We found lots of different mushrooms but unfortunately didn't get to see any wildlife, with the exception of small birds singing. Just a note, it got quite a bit cold under the tree canopy, so I would advise taking a warm jacket. Personally, I should have wore gloves as my hands were very cold. Fabulous experience and would love to do it all again. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to visit for a walk. Amazing waterfalls and bridges. Some easy access paths for bikes and wheelchairs as well as more tricky paths. Very interesting and some great way marked tracks to follow from short to many miles !

Absolutely stunning. Obviously it can get quite busy during peak times, but just spread out amongst the forest and you'll be fine. It's so beautiful you probably won't even notice half the people there, everyone's too busy looking at the huge trees 😍🌲🌳 Try some of the doughnuts from the food van in the carpark, they're worth the price I promise!! 🍩

Lovely woodland walk with spectacular views of the waterfalls. Top tip, take footwear you don’t mind getting muddy.

Well worth the visit if in the area. Beautiful place! Easy walk with a beautiful waterfall at the end. Can keep going to make a large loop and hike up to Pinecone Point. AllTrails isn’t a bad idea as the trails can be a bit confusing.

Beautiful spot just outside Dunkeld. Regardless of weather you’re in for a treat. Depending on the time of your visit you will be able to get some coffee and fresh donuts at the start of the walk. I am also very biased as I got engaged here
