Although the Hermitage looks, at first sight, like it might have developed naturally, it is actually a planned landscape. In the mid 1700s the main residence of the Dukes of Atholl was, and remains, at Blair Castle, some 17 miles north-west of the Hermitage.

At Atholl, a history of forest management in Scotland dates back to the 17th century. One duke was so determined to expand the forest that he sprayed seed across hillsides with cannons. Now, thousands of hectares of diverse commercial woods exist where there were once bare hills. #forestry #Scotland #history #environment #conservation | Real Royalty

It’s not what it seems. Far from being natural, The Hermitage in Dunkeld was designed as a pleasure garden, for the Dukes of Atholl, in the 18th century. The highlight is Ossian’s Hall, completed in 1783, to replace a summerhouse; a retreat or hermitage from daily life and the stresses and strains of being an 18th century Duke… It was blown up with gunpowder in 1869, probably as a protest at increasing bridge tolls charged by the 7th duke. It originally housed a drawing room. But it’s best used

The Hermitage in Dunkeld, Perthshire, was created in the 18th century by John Murray, the third Duke of Atholl, as a picturesque pleasure ground. Designed to celebrate the legendary bard Ossian, it features stunning landscapes along the River Braan. The area includes several notable structures like Ossian's Hall of Mirrors, built in 1757-1758, offering dramatic views of the Black Linn Falls. This folly was once adorned with mirrors to enhance the view of the waterfall. Another highlight is Ossia

The Hermitage is an awe inspiring stretch of Perthshire forest that was originally designed in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Towering Douglas firs watch over the paths leading to the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan thunders into the deep pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is Ossian’s Hall, a unique looking folly built in 1757 as the focal point in an extensive man made landscape. The Hermitage was treated as an ‘extended garden’ by the Dukes of Atholl and most of

@thehermitage_nts is the most magical stretch of forest in Perthshire's Big Tree Country, originally designed as a pleasure ground in the eighteenth century for the Dukes of Atholl. The giant fir trees here are among the tallest in Britain – walk through the forest and explore the pine-scented paths that lead to the roaring Black Linn Falls. The River Braan crashes down into deep, foaming pools where, in the autumn, you can see salmon leaping as they head to spawning grounds further along the ri
