It Is All Grass

Walking into It Is All Grass near Dunkeld, you're stepping into something genuinely different - a gallery space that treats poetry like visual art and landscape like text. The whole thing is based around the Corbenic Poetry Path, a concept that layers verse and sculpture across the grounds in ways that make you stop and actually read rather than just shuffle through.

What unfolds is somewhere between a contemporary art installation and a very clever outdoor room. There's grass, yes, but it's not passive - the poems and artworks positioned throughout change how you move through the space and what you notice about the land itself. It's the kind of place that works brilliantly for adults who've got time to wander and think, though teenagers with any interest in modern poetry or unconventional galleries will find it engaging too. Young children might struggle - there's not much here to hold their attention for more than thirty minutes if they're after something more interactive.

Base yourself at Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park, just three miles away, and you could easily combine this with exploring the wider Dunkeld area. The River Tay's right there, and the town itself has proper character. Worth noting that opening hours and admission fees aren't confirmed, so ring ahead before you plan a visit. It's a short trip from either Inver Mill or Erigmore Holiday Park if you're after something thoughtful and slow rather than another standard tourist loop.
