Winter roads and ground frost, Wintertime view of the meandering River Tay from Kinnoull Hill, Near Perth, Perthshire - Scotland, UK


Kinnoull Hill is a hill located in Perth, Scotland. From the hill's 222m south-facing cliff summit, views are afforded of the River Tay, the Friarton Bridge, and a stretch of the Tay Coast railway line. 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.[
