The Meikleour Beech Hedge is located right besides A93 Perth-Blairgowrie road, north of Perth and south of Blairgowrie, in Scotland. This solid wall of beech trees is the tallest and longest hedge in the world, as recognized by the Guinness Book of Records.

The hedge was planted in 1745 by Robert Murray Nairne and his beloved wife Jean Mercer, on the estate of the Meikleour House, which lies half a mile to the west of the hedge and whose eastern boundary it defines.
