We had to get directions to find the beech hedge but it was very impressive when we did finally find it. I gave it four stars because there are no interpretive signs at the pull off to give people more details about it. I've seen pictures of some, it would be nice if they were replaced. Either that of they do exist and we just didn't find them. Planted in 1746, one tree for every man who fought/died? in the Battle of Culloden.

Arriving at the "hedge" in winter, you are at best, confused. The lowest 3-5 metres retain leaves, albeit brown rather than green, through to the next growth season.
Above that, the branches appear bare and "wild", no doubt as a result of the weather. They will look at their best in June/July next year.

The fanous beech hedges, famed for their record-breaking length and height, are certainly well worth seeing. We have now viewed them twice, both times in the autumn when the leaves are at their best in terms of golden colours. We hope to see them in the spring one year. They are most certainly a fascinating and inspiring landmark.

A friend mentioned The Beeches and I thought she meant beaches! Asked at our hotel and was pointed in the right direction. Short stroll and really worth it

For a small country Scotland has a lot going for it - but I never realised that it also holds the record for the highest hedge in the 🌎, as recognised by The Guinness Book of Records.
This beech hedge was planted back in 1745, apparently by Scots who went off to fight in the Jacobite rebellion at Culloden, and sadly never returned. In their honour the trees were left to grow unchecked and inching towards the heavens - a living memorial to these men’s ultimate sacrifice. Certainly something to ponder on as you look upon the lofty tree tops, as they’re an emotive link to Scottish history. Not only is the hedge the tallest at over 100 ft ( it dwarfs cars travelling on the A 93) -it’s also the longest in the 🌍 at 530 metres , or a third of a mile. The costs to maintain it are quite eye-watering.
There is only a fairly small lay-by to stop in for a better look, and it’s a busy country road so take care if you wish to take photos.

The Meikleour Beech Hedges really are quite a sight! We saw them in the autumn when most of the leaves had fallen, but they must be even more spectacular in the spring, summer and early autumn. Apparently the hedge dates from 1745 and is the longest hedge in Britain and the tallest globally. What a landmark and well worth eeing!

Worth stopping for a photo, especially in Autumn. Coming from the South, turn left immediately after the hedge to park the car, then return (carefully) to get a photo or two.

The hedges here were first planted by Meikleour House and Jacobites. After the failure of the rebellion, the hedges were allowed to grow as a kind of war memorial to the Jacobites. The hedges have been allowed to grow to over 30 metres high and have been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the highest hedge in the world.
The hedges do have to be trimmed to keep the A93 for drivers and sadly, the hedges seem to have been trimmed recently. So I was a bit disappointed to not see a picturesque bushy hedge while driving on the A93.

The hedge is very nice in the summer. It reaches to a great height and great for photographs. Unfortunately there is nothing else to do in the area and it is right on the main road.
