Some of the best sites include the Pass of Killiecrankie with its mixed woodland and abundant wildlife, the wonderful Meikleour Beech Hedge close to Blairgowrie (the tallest hedge in the world), the Birks of Aberfeldy, Kinnoull Hill and Moncreiffe Hill by Perth, Lady Mary's Walk at Crieff and the larch covered hills around Dunkeld and Birnam. The Autumn Colours Telephone Hotline operates from early October until mid November each year and provides updated information on where to see Perthshire's rich leaf colour at its seasonal best.
