About
The viewpoint west along Loch Tummel that Forestry and Land Scotland calls the area's most popular visitor attraction. The name is not quite what the visitors think: Queen Victoria assumed it was named for her, but, says Forestry and Land Scotland, historical accounts suggest it was Isabella, the first wife of Robert the Bruce. There is a visitor centre by the car park. It is a short drive west of Pitlochry, in the Tay Forest Park.
