The Hermitage
An attractive woodland walk leads along the banks of the River Braan, through mixed woodland and past a handsome single-arched bridge to the picturesque folly of Ossian’s Hall. Overlooking the Black Linn Falls and beyond to Ossian’s Cave, the mid- 18th-century Hall was a focal point in an extensive designed landscape. Today, it competes with the tumbling River Braan and some spectacularly tall Douglas fir trees, including one of Britain’s tallest at over 210ft. Each season offers something special – the striking contrast between the coniferous and deciduous trees in spring and autumn, the salmon attempting to jump the Falls in late summer, and, in winter, the temperature can turn the river into a glistening ice floe.
