Birnam

Beatrix Potter Garden

Birnam and its sister town Dunkeld sit on opposite banks of the fast-flowing waters of the River Tay in Perthshire, Scotland. Linking the two small, but beautiful towns, is the stone bridge built by Thomas Telford. On one of her regular holidays to Birnam, Beatrix Potter wrote the famous letter which was to be published worldwide as "The Tale Of Peter Rabbit". In Birnam's Beatrix Potter Garden, you'll meet many of her favourite characters.

Birnam

This is a very beautiful part of Perthshire with some lovely walks by the River Tay, alongside the River Braan to the Hermitage or for the more energetic, a climb up Birnam Hill through the woods that were, as we all know, to spell doom for Macbeth. In the two towns and surrounding countryside, there is no end to the wealth of interest around Birnam.
