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."
