Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

Kinnoull Hill rises straight above Perth, a wooded ridge that ends in a sudden cliff over the Tay. A folly tower perches right on the edge, built in the early 1800s to echo the castles of the Rhine, and the view from beside it runs for miles down the river valley. It’s a free woodland park with paths up from the edge of town, an easy hour or so’s climb for a big reward.
