Complete serenity and clarity are the feelings you achieve if you are to ever visit the Hermitage in Scotland. In my opinion, the best time to visit is in Autumn (when I went), when you are surrounded by an array of colours ranging from dark moss green to golden yellow to fire red. Yes, I suppose you could see these colours on trees a bit closer to home but what makes the Hermitage stand out is the crisp white waterfall that cascades down the mountain.
This brilliant white makes the surrounding trees show off even more and offers a contrast to the autumnal colours. Once at the top of the mountain you can gape at the marvellous views which make you feel one with nature. A truly beautiful sight to see and great to explore with friends whilst getting a bit of exercise too! It may not be near Edinburgh but it certainly is a tourist hotspot for those who prefer the calmness of nature rather than the busy city streets.
