Tour Scotland Video Autumn Trees Kinnoull Hill

Tour Scotland video of Autumn trees and Kinnoull Hill by Perth, Scotland. The south facing slopes of Kinnoull Hill. On the summit is Kinnoull Tower. Built in the 18th century by the 9th Earl of Kinnoull. Kinnoull Hill was given to the city of Perth in 1924 and was part of Scotland's very first woodland park in 1991. Kinnoull Hill is linked to nearby Dechney Hill by Coronation Road, a route taken by monarchs travelling between Falkland Palace and Scone Palace. The dramatic cliffs on the south side of Kinnoull Hill reminded the 9th Earl of Kinnoull of the lofty crags along the Rhine Valley in Germany, and the fairy tale castles that dot the rocky outcrops there. He felt that Perth needed its own version of those Rhine castles, so he erected fantasy towers atop Binn Hill, and here at Kinnoull Hill. In addition to the Tower, with its castellated battlements, the Earl built a large stone table for use as a picnic area.
