Our favourite shady walks in Perthshire for hot summer days

When we were trying to think of a walk that would be at its best in late spring, a picture came to mind of a sapphire blue loch, fringed with vibrant green ferns and punctuated with the sound of birds calling. In other words — Loch Turret.

It’s the time of year when we all want to get out, feel the warmth of spring sunshine on our faces, let the soft breeze blow the winter cobwebs away, and rest our eyes on the fresh, zingy green of new leaves.

Woodland floors carpeted with lightly scented bluebells have to be one of the most wonderful sights in Scotland in May and June. In Perthshire, we think the best place to see them in all their glory is undoubtedly Kinclaven Bluebell Wood.
