Loch Faskally near Pitlochry Perthshire
A mansion house on the east side of Loch Faskally, Perth and Kinross, Faskally House is situated 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Pitlochry near the junction of the Garry and Tummel rivers. It was once the property of the Butter family but became a training school for the Forestry Commission in the 1950s and then a government-run freshwater fisheries laboratory. It now serves as Christian youth centre. Many of the trees in this forest are between 100 and 200 years old. A network of old estate paths lead round the small but picturesque Loch Dunmore with its timber bridge and boat house. The short walk around Loch Dunmore is particularly scenic and has recently been updated to Access for All standards through the Heritage & Access Project. Faskally House became a training school for foresters during the 1950s and this wood provided a testing area for numerous woodland management techniques. Come and see the forest in spring when the trees are in bud, or in autumn when reflections fill the loch with shimmering colour.
