View from Kinnoull Hill
Highlight • Natural Monument
The trails on Kinnoull Hill itself are great for family walks and picnics. If you’re looking for some mountain bike action, try the nearby Deuchny Hill Bike Park. Deuchny is also a top destination for horse riding and longer cycle routes: an ancient right of way called Coronation Road connects the forest with Scone. The name suggests it may have been used by ancient kings on their way to their coronations.
Perth and Kinross Council manage Kinnoull in partnership with Forestry and Land Scotland.

Kinnoull Tower and view over the River Tay
Highlight • Monument
The tower is set in wooded landscaped grounds, with trails through mature beech and pine forests. There is also an arboretum and excellent views across the Tay Valley.
The dramatic cliffs at the southern end of Kinnoull Hill reminded the 9th Earl of Kinnoull of the lofty rock formations along the Rhine Valley in Germany and of fairytale castles that do not have rocky outcrops. He felt that Perth needed its own version of these Rhine castles, so he built towers on the summit of Binn Hill and on Kinnoull Hill. In addition to the tower, the Earl built a large stone table for use as a picnic area.
Some sources attribute the Tower to Lord Grey of Kirfauns or the 11th Earl of Kinnoull.
