with your kilted guide for a trip full of excitement and
discovery. Armed with our powerful spotlight search for Red
Deer, Roe Deer, Foxes, Owls and other creatures of the night.
One of the awe-inspiring sights that will await you on a clear
night is the brilliant display of a starry sky. With zero light
pollution around you, the heavens take on a whole new splendour,
especially on a clear moonless night. Using state of the art
technology with our Sky Scout telescope we can name almost every
star in the night sky. On more overcast nights we supply torches
so that you can enjoy a torch lit walk into an ancient
Caledonian pine forest. Tel 01887 820071

The
Enchanted Forest and the
Pitlochry Autumn Festival
Scotland’s premier sound and light show returns to Faskally
Wood near Pitlochry. Spectacular sound and lighting effects will
be used to illustrate the earth’s history from its early
volcanic state, the Ice Age and the Jurassic era right through
to modern times. Includes a spectacular 10 minute choreographed
display which, with the help of high level aerial lighting
effects, coloured water jets and smoke, will gradually see the
loch turn into a bubbling cauldron!
After the show visitors will be able to follow the illuminated
path around the loch and through the forest where they will be
taken on a kaleidoscopic tour of the seasons, and into the
aptly-named ‘mystical wood’ where they will be transported to a
place that really is out of this world!

(Concessions) and £4.50 (Children under 15) are on sale from
