On Bolfracks Estate near Aberfeldy, the remnants of an ancient pinewood have been restored to their former glory through a replanting programme designed to recreate a small section of the Caledonian forest that once covered most of the Scottish Highlands. A path network allows walkers to get a feel for this special area and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. All three walks are clearly signposted and start from the car park which can be reached from the Kenmore to Amulree road (GR 784446). Wildlife species of interest include a healthy population of black grouse, as well as red grouse, buzzard, kestrel and the occasional golden eagle. The Scottish Crannog Centre is a re-creation of an iron age loch dwelling and is located nearby in Kenmore, open Easter to October. There are a range of eating places in Aberfeldy and Kenmore.
