Perthshire Countryside Collection

Highland Perthshire is known for its outstanding scenery. Not only does it have Scotland's longest river, the Tay, it also has what it is believed to be the oldest tree in Britain, the Fortingall Yew. Our tour is a classic collection of all that is Perthshire, one that is not to be missed!

Falls of Dochart • Loch Tay • Scone Palace • Black Watch Museum • Bannockburn • Perth

Day 1 Travel to the fair city of Perth.

Day 2 A full day exploring the lovely landscape and lochs of the region. Begin by heading towards Aberfeldy, Scotland's first Fairtrade town. Pass Taymouth Castle at Kenmore village on the shores of glorious Loch Tay. Journey along the loch side to arrive in Killin, to take in the spectacular 'Falls of Dochart'. Final stop is at the traditional Scottish market town of Crieff, birth place of Ewan McGregor.

Day 3 Follow in the footsteps of countless kings this morning at Scone Palace. Explore the unique collections at your own pace with guides in each room to answer questions before stepping outside where over 100 acres of fabulous Perthshire grounds are waiting to be discovered. Back to Perth for a guided tour of the Black Watch Museum, housed in the dramatic Balhousie Castle. Your guide will bring to life the fascinating story of Scotland’s oldest Highland regiment.

Discover how in 1314 the tactics of the opposing kings changed the path of Scotland’s history forever.
