URPoint Details
An attractive village on the north shore of Loch Tay with thatched cottages and where the wooded Glen Lyon is the longest of Scotland’s glens at 30 miles west of the village.
The surviving part of the Fortingall Yew is in an enclosure in the churchyard and supposedly 3000 years old, perhaps the oldest tree in Europe.
The trunk was 56ft in 1772, but later split and the remaining live stem was carefully tended.
