Deuchny Wood (also known as Deuchny Woodland Park) is a Forestry and Land Scotland site in Perth, Scotland.[1] in size, it is adjacent to Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, of which Deuchny Hill is one of the five constituent hills (the others being Kinnoull Hill, Corsiehill, Barnhill and Binn).[1]
The wood is home to a prehistoric hillfort, referred to as "Iqudonbeg" in 1403,[2] at which several artefacts have been discovered.[3]
Deuchny Burn flows out of the woods to the south, while Langley Burn cuts through its northeastern corner.[4]
Jonathan Gloag, the 28-year-old son of Stagecoach Group co-founder Ann Gloag, hanged himself in Deuchny Wood in 1999.[5]
