Kinnoull Hill is a hill located in Perth, Scotland. From the hill's 222m south-facing cliff summit, views are afforded of the River Tay, the Friarton Bridge, and a stretch of the Tay Coast railway line. Further to the south, Moncreiffe Hill can be seen. On an outcrop a few hundred yards to the east of — but visible from — the summit is Kinnoull Tower. Built in 1829 by Lord Grey of Kinfauns as a romantic folly, the tower, along with nearby Binn Tower, originally used as an observatory by Grey, are meant to resemble the castles on the Rhine in Germany as Grey saw a great similarity between the River Tay and parts of the Rhine.〔(Perth, the Ancient Capital of Scotland )〕〔(History of the area (Perth) )〕 The tower is easily accessible via a footpath. ==Awards== In 2009 and again in 2010, Kinnoull Hill was awarded Green Flag status.〔("Parks awarded green flag status" - BBC.co.uk )〕 In 2010, Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park also came runner up in Scotland's Finest Woods Awards.〔(Scotland's Finest Woods Awards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kinnoull Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
