David
Douglas of Scone, Perthshire, was one of the most important
botanical collectors there has ever been. Thanks to his heroic
and often unimaginably arduous explorations, during which he
collected and discovered over 200 species, our forests and gardens
are immeasurably richer. Not only is the Douglas fir named after
him, but also many of our most established conifers, like the
Sitka spruce, Grand and Noble firs and the Monterey pine were
introduced to Britain by him.

and Perthshire: Including Kinross... This guide covers a
varied landscape area that is accessible to the highly populated
Central Lowlands of Scotland, including the great cities of
Glasgow and Edinburgh. Human endeavour, coupled with a proud
colourful heritage, is evident everywhere, in the pretty and

Hills and scenic Loch Leven, and, moving further north towards
the higher ground, in the mountainous areas around Pitlochry,
where the autumn colours have to be seen to be believed. Visits
to the area are addictive, causing many to return again and
again to the ancient "kingdoms" of Fife and Perth,
legendary birthplace of the heartland of Scotland, for further
exploration and pleasure.
