Faskally Forest, also known as Faskally Woods, is a wooded area in the historic county of Perthshire, Scotland.[1] It is among the mixed woodlands of Perthshire, and is well known for its radiant colours during the autumn. It is one of the early forest lands of Perthshire Big Tree County.[2] Originally a "model woodland" developed in the 19th century with a resort owned by Archibald Edward Butter.[3][4] In 1953, Faskally was acquired by the Forestry Commission of Scotland to set up a school for training young foresters.[4]
A colourful annual event at Faskally, known as "The Enchanted Forest", received awards consecutively for three years (2011–2013), as the Best Cultural Event in Scotland.[5]
