The Meikleour Beech Hedge can be found north-east of Perth, on the A93 to Blairgowrie, It is credited by the Guinness Book of Records as being the largest hedge in the world, measuring one third of a mile long, and 120 feet (36 m) high. The beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica) was planted in 1745, the same year as the last Jacobite uprising.
The ancient trees contain some interesting carvings from loved ones, the earliest date I saw being 1920, you may find an earlier one. The colours of the hedge are particularly beautiful in the autumn (October) and the fallen leaves and beechnuts give a satisfying crunch as you walk over them.
Park in the large layby and walk along the footpath looking for a gap into the back of the trees where you can kick through the crispy leaves noting the ancient grafitti carvings in the tree trunks. There is no need to cross the busy road, please watch youngsters.
Cache is a 1.1ltr box.
