Tour Scotland Autumn Video Kinnoull Hill From Road To Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland Autumn video of Kinnoull Hill from the road to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Kinnoull has fine woodlands and a dramatic clifftop escarpment above the Tay. From the hill's summit, views are afforded of the River Tay, the Friarton Bridge, and a stretch of the Tay Coast railway line. Further to the south, Moncreiffe Hill can be seen. On an outcrop a few hundred yards to the east of, but visible from the summit, is Kinnoull Tower. Built in 1829 by Lord Grey of Kinfauns as a romantic folly, the tower, along with nearby Binn Tower, originally used as an observatory by Grey, are meant to resemble the castles on the Rhine in Germany as Grey saw a great similarity between the River Tay and parts of the Rhine. The tower is easily accessible via a footpath.
