Thank you to Dair Mor who placed this cache, and many others throughout Perthshire, in 2010.
Faskally Wood has some very interesting trees and small plantations as it was the Forestry Commission’s training ground for many years. It is now a delightful spot, criss-crossed with paths and tracks.
This series makes much of the many interesting rock formations and outcrops throughout the woods and is intended to take you away from the busier sections.
Take the low road that hugs the loch side until it starts to rise up into the forest.
Loch Faskally was formed as recently as 1950 on completion of Pitlochry Dam, itself part of the grand Tummel-Garry Hydro Electric Scheme which has a catchment area of 700 square miles. By the time the water here passes through the dam it will likely have been used to generate electricity four times.
