    Best for LochsThe Trossachs National Park was Scotland’s

    fi rst, and with over 700 square miles of

    magnifi cent mountains, glens and lochs,

    there is a lot to discover. Loch Lomond (5)

    (one of the park’s 22 lochs) has amazing

    views with mountains, islands and pretty

    villages lining the shores. The best way to

    experience the stunning scenery is on the

    Loch Lomond Water Bus Service; a great way

    to get a feel for all the different locations. Or

    walk to Loch Katrine (6), which inspired Sir

    Walter Scott to write The Lady of the Lake.

    Inchmahome Priory (2)Set on an island in the Lake of Menteith, Inchmahome is an idyllically-situated Augustinian monastery dating from 1238. Open April to October.

    Deanston Distillery (3)Visit for an in-depth tour of the distillery including a complimentary whisky tasting.

    Blair Drummond Safari Park (4)Wild animal reserves, a petting farm, sea lions, an adventure playground and much more. Open March to October.

    Best for Castles and Palaces Doune Castle (8) is a magnifi cent medieval

    courtyard castle steeped in history. It was

    once occupied by Bonnie Prince Charlie’s

    forces. Stirling Castle (9) by contrast is one of

    the grandest. It overlooks some of the most

    important battlefi elds of Scotland’s past.

    Scone Palace (10) was built in 1580 on a site

    intrinsic to Scottish history. In 838, Kenneth

    MacAlpin became the fi rst king of a united

    Scotland and brought the Stone of Destiny,

    on which Scottish kings were ceremonially

    invested, to Moot Hill.

    Best for GamesNo visit to Perthshire during the summer months

    is complete without attending at least one of the

    14 Highland Games that take place at towns and

    villages across the region. Watch the tossing o’

    the caber while hearing the sound of bagpipes.

    At a glancePerthshire is located near the centre of

    Scotland. It lies on Britain’s biggest river – the

    river Tay. The county is steeped in Scottish

    history, legend and myth, from the Romans to

    the Celts. The Trossachs, with its mountains,

    beautiful glens and fabulous landscapes, has

    been attracting visitors for centuries. It is a

    region of fascinating history and legend, from

    the mythical giant Fingal to the notorious

    outlaw Rob Roy McGregor.

    Best for ArtKelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow

    hosts internationally signifi cant collections

    displayed in 22 state-of-the-art galleries. They

    include superb paintings and sculptures, silver

    and ceramics, European armour, weapons and

    fi rearms, clothing and furniture. The natural

    history of Scotland is treated in depth and there

    are displays of relics from Scotland’s history and

    prehistory. The museum is a great day out for

    families, with lots of interactive displays aimed

    at engaging young minds. The Fergusson Gallery

    (Perth) (1) is devoted to the work of one of the

    celebrated Scottish Colourists, John Duncan

    Fergusson. Three galleries contain superb works

    by Fergusson and his wife, Margaret Morris, who

    was a groundbreaking modern dancer.

    Best for FishingPerthshire is an angler’s paradise. Enjoy a guided

    visit to a loch or river with a ghillie who will share

    his experience and advise on how to make the

    most of this fi shing mecca. And Tigh Mor offers

    its own fi shing pond (the Lochan) as well as

    fi shing on Loch Achray (7).

    Walter Scott to write The Lady of the Lake. was a groundbreaking modern dancer.

    Manager’s TipDescribed as the greatest railway

    journey in the world, a trip on the

    Jacobite steam train is well worth

    doing when visiting the Trossachs. The

    84-mile round journey takes you from

    Fort William, the home of Ben Nevis,

    to Britain’s most westerly mainland

    railway station, Arisaig. The car journey

    to Fort William takes you through

    stunning Glen Coe and is only 1½ hours

    from Tigh Mor. The steam train runs

    from May to October and must be

    booked in advance; however a normal

    train service also runs along the line.

    Treat yourself to a fi rst-class ticket!
