It was a short walk from the Burgh Lodge to the Stag, where we enjoyed an excellent evening meal. (above) The following day we headed north again into Perthshire, stopping briefly beside loch Tay, visiting the Fortnigall Yew, and being given a personal and very interesting guided tour of Cluny House Gardens near Aberfeldy. These gardens were full of unusual trees, woodland plants from all over the world, and some very friendly red squirrels.
