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!
