Quarrymill Woodland Park & Kinnoull Hill, Perth - 30th August 2012

We enjoyed a warm and sunny day (hurray!) strolling alongside the Annaty Burn in Quarrymill Woodland Park to New Scone and back.  This walk is easy and flat and there are plenty of benches along the way to sit and admire the views.  On our return journey we stopped for lunch at one of the picnic areas before heading off to The Tower on top of Kinnoull Hill.  This walk is a bit more strenuous but the views from the tower are spectacular and well worth the effort.  The Tower itself looks magnificent perched on the edge of a 725ft cliff and a short distance from the tower there is a stone table which marks out the views on the horizon.

As we were descending the hill via a different route we saw 2 of the 14 sculptures to be found in the park: a squirrel sitting on a tree trunk and a badger hugging a tree stump, which were a lovely surprise.  Today the time flew past far too quickly and we had walked 8.8 miles.
