Aitken's Arboretum Traditional Cache

Kinnoull Hill provides a dramatic backdrop to Scotland’s ‘Fair City’, visible throughout Perth and from the Dundee Road. It forms a tranquil haven for people and wildlife with miles of grassy paths and way marked nature trails through fine mixed woodland. The Woodland Park also includes Deuchny Hill, which is surmounted by the remains of an iron age fort. It is part of the Sidlaw Hills

A pleasant walk through the woods with plenty of birdlife and woodland animals and if you are quiet and lucky you may spot Deer and hear the Jays laughing in the tree tops.

A lot of work has been carried out as part of the Heritage & Access Project including significant improvements to the paths criss-crossing the park. Thanks to a generous bequest by the late Jim Aitken, an arboretum on Deuchny Hill is also to be restored for the benefit of the people of Perth. A steep zig zag hill takes you up to the Arboretum, showing fine species of trees, and a carved seat to take a break.

Cache is a 670ml box and the contents include.

This cache is one of many to be hidden gradually from now until the Mega 2010 Perth. A series of caches to be hidden right in the heart of Perthshire Big Tree Country. More information can be found by clicking on the banner and the website above.
