This is day one of a three day trip up north. We left Ratho around 10.00am on June 2nd, crossed the Forth bridge and headed up to Perth where we spent an hour or so. Then onward past the Meikleour Beech Hedge, said to be the largest in the world. www.perthshirebigtreecountry.co.uk It gets its lower parts trimmed regularly. to allow traffic and pedestrian access, then, every ten years or so, the whole thing is done. We passed by The Atholl Arms Hotel in Dunkeld (we stayed there a couple of years ago) then crossed the bridge past Birnam Woods of Macbeth fame. Around 3.33 in the video you can see our first real glimpse of the Grampian Mountains. At the Queen's View, above Loch Tummel; just outside Pitlochry, everyone was surprised by RAF jets practising low flying. Note the way I just about drop the camera - you should have seen the German tourists next to me. Finally on to our hotel at the east end of Loch Rannoch. The last scene shows the view from its front towards the distinctive peak of Schiehallion. (Please note that the title of this should read "Kinloch" not "Linloch" Apologies to all the nice locals from that area).
