ThingsToDoWoodland and the Black Linn Falls / NEAR DUNKELD
The Hermitage
Make a separate short journey west of Dunkeld for a woodland walk beside the River Braan. Choose a suitable route towards the waterfall viewpoint and Ossian’s Hall, leaving time to look and listen rather than hurrying to the next stop. Hall access can change for weddings, and the surrounding paths remain an outdoor experience even when the viewpoint building is open.
Stay on the paths and keep well back from slippery rocks and the fast-flowing river.
