Perthshire Big Tree Country has some of Scotland’s best bluebell woods. The shimmering sea of purple and blue created by these pretty flowers really is a wonderful sight to behold and makes for a truly memorable woodland walk.
Traditionally the third week in May is when you are likely to see bluebells at their best, so why not get out and enjoy Britain’s favourite flower. Be sure to take your camera with you to capture the remarkable colourful transformation of these woodlands.
You can park at the top of the lane or in the Lairds garden as he allows users of this woodland to do so. The only thing the Laird asks is that you do not block the entrance to the field on the right hand side as you enter the gate.
Follow the path to the bottom until you reach the noticeboard at the waypoint listed below. As you walk watch out for the lovely viewing point where there is a bench as per the picture below. If you are lucky enough to be here on a sunny day you can enjoy the views and the tranquility around you.
When you reach the noticeboard you are looking for the follwing information.
