The Birks of Aberfeldy, located near the town of Aberfeldy in Perthshire, offers a beautiful short walk that takes visitors on a circular route through mature woodland that’s covered this part of Central Scotland for over 8000 years. The woods are comprised of a wide variety of trees with the predominant species belonging to oak, ash, elm, and of course, the birks (which are actually birch trees), and there’s a huge amount of birdlife to keep a watchful eye out for as well. This area of natural beauty has such a vast amount of plantlife that it’s been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and modern-day visitors can enjoy the natural splendour of the place just as Robert Burns did over 200 years ago thanks to the path that rings the woodland in a route that runs for just over two miles.
