Loch Faskally, Faskally Wood and Glen Affric were the places in Scotland named among the best for catching a glimpse of the autumn colours by Country Living.
Loch Faskally, near Pitlochry
"During autumn, the spectacular golden leaves are reflected onto the glistening Loch Faskally.
"It's an excellent place for a walk; the route includes a metal suspension bridge of the river, the fish ladder on the dam, and breathtaking views.
"If you're lucky, you may even spot a flash of pink as salmon dart through the water."
Faskally Wood, Perthshire
"If you're heading to Perthshire this autumn make sure to stop by at Faskally Wood.
"Discover the joyful hues of autumn across a wide range of tree species, some of which are more than 200 years old. It really is an unmissable sight."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
