Straddling the border between Perthshire and the Kingdom of Fife, Pitmedden Forest was once the playground of the royals. From Falkland Palace, the kings and queens of Scotland rode out here in pursuit of wild boar. The original forest was largely felled to provide wood during the First World War, but it was later replanted by the Forestry Commission with Scots Pine, Sitka and Norway spruce and remains a commercial plantation under their control. To encourage recreational use, a small car park has been provided, along with various waymarked routes for cyclists and walkers.
