Overview

Step into the footsteps of former Scottish royalty, as we visit Scone Palace, the original home to the ‘Stone of Destiny’ in the Royal burgh of Perthshire - the crowning place of Scottish kings.

Take a stroll under Scotland’s tallest tress, marvel at the waterfall from Ossian’s Hall and touch the wishing tree in the Hermitage forest in Dunkeld.

Lunch at Taste, Perthshire, the main attraction here is to 'hand feed' our much loved 'Highland Coos'.

Immerse yourself in the Whisky-making process in Tullibardine Distillery followed by a couple of 'drams'.

Visit our last attraction; the (in)famous Doune Castle, featured in Outlander, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Game of Thrones.

The Hermitage

This stretch of magical Perthshire forest was originally designed as a pleasure ground in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Douglas firs tower over the paths leading to the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan crashes down into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the picturesque folly known as Ossian’s Hall, built in 1757 as the focal point in an extensive designed landscape. Decorated with mirrors, sliding panels and paintings, it has been refurbished to re-create the illusions of shock, surprise and amazement that were the aims of the folly’s original design. It makes a fine spot to contemplate the roaring, tumbling falls.This forest is home to the endangered and elusive red squirrels, and if your trip is in autumn you might see salmon head up the falls to their breeding grounds.
