Autumn colours in Scotland
Written by Karen Bryan
Perthshire in central Scotland is one of the best areas in Scotland for beautiful Autumn colours. The photo below was taken on the circular walk around Loch Dunmore in Faskally Wood near Pitlochry. From the 16 October – 1 November 2009 the Enchanted Forest sound and light show takes place at Faskally Wood.

Thanks for your lovely Perthshire pisctures!
Angus, thanks for the link to the article about why leaves change colour. No wonder the local tourist board are calling Perthshire “Big Tree Country” as the area is full of beautiful trees.
I had a look at your site and it’s an interesting iidea to own your own wood.
