Come along to and discover this new Beatrix Potter Garden Trail

Located in Birnam, near Dunkeld, this free, new for 2026 garden trail invites visitors of all ages to step into the natural world that sparked Potter's imagination, winding through a landscaped garden adjacent to Birnam Arts Centre. Along the way, you'll discover carved sculptures, storytelling features, carved benches, play elements, and hidden surprises that celebrate Potter's legacy and her enduring love for Perthshire.

The Beatrix Potter Garden Trail is a celebration of Beatrix’s connection to Dunkeld, and Birnam, where the timeless tales and talents of Beatrix Potter began to germinate. Part of the Beatrix Potter Exhibition Experience at Birnam Arts, the trail is a space where gardens, wildlife, art, science, history and imagination all come together.

Birnam Arts Centre is home to the Beatrix Potter Exhibition, Museum and Gift shop, where you can learn about Beatrix Potter and her life as an author, her connections to Birnam and Dunkeld and take home a Peter Rabbit gift, or three! The onsite gift shop has a wide range of Beatrix Potter merchandise including clothing and books as well as a good range of local and Scottish products, as well as Activity Books and Guidebooks to the Garden Trail.
 
The trail has been designed by Brilliant Trails, in partnership with Penguin Ventures on behalf of Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd (an imprint of Penguin Random House Children's UK and owner of the Peter Rabbit™ brand).
