From an almost endless list, here are a few Perthshire highlights you might like to try:

 

 

Whisky & Heritage

There are several excellent visitor attractions in the area such as Dewar’s World of Whisky, located in Aberfeldy, it’s within pleasant driving distance of Pitlochry. If books are your thing, try browsing our growing range of titles in the Festival Shop. Alternatively, make your way to the Watermill Bookshop whilst you’re in Aberfeldy. Blair Castle also provides an excellent day out. The ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl houses a great display of arms and armour, as well as extensive collections of porcelain, paintings and period furniture.

 

 

Walking

There are over thirty way-marked walks in the local area. Park up and study your route – most car parks have display boards and of course leaflets are available from all Tourist Centres, including Pitlochry. Make sure you take in Queens View – the favourite viewpoint loved by Queen Victoria, who regularly visited highland Perthshire!

A good site to visit in advance or on the day is Perthshire Walks 

If your feet get sore or you tire of walking, there’s help at hand – hire a car!

 

 

 

Wildlife

Throughout Perthshire, you’ll glimpse everything from red grouse and red deer to red squirrels and leaping salmon, as well as osprey, herons and dippers whilst in the area. Located beside the Theatre is Explorers Garden, a celebration of the Scottish Planter Hunters. Make sure you walk in the footstep of these intrepid explorers during your stay. You will encounter wildlife, exotic plants and stunning architecture.
