Doon Hill, Aberfoyle

The legendary story of Reverend Robert Kirk who was a minister in Aberfoyle between 1685-1692. He put Aberfoyle on the map as the ‘Faerie Capital’, inspiring many people to walk up Doon Hill with the story of him being abducted by the faeries for revealing their secrets. Doon Hill is easily reached from Aberfoyle, which is on the Trossachs Trail. Explore the Trossachs, plan your next trip to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, discover things to do in Aberfoyle.

Reverend Kirk famously told the secrets of fairies in a book that he wrote. They are said to have had their revenge though, when he took a walk-up Doon Hill, as they took his soul, trapping it in a pine tree at the top of the hill.
