Ancient Castles
Not too far away you’ll find the ancient ruins of Finlarig Castle and the Moirlanich Longhouse, maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.
Castles in the area are plentiful and it’s well-worth exploring Taymouth Castle Estate, Castle Menzies and Doune Castle, an Outlander film location dating back to the 14th Century which boasts a 100ft high gatehouse and one of the best-preserved halls in Scotland.
Scenic Thrills
For those wanting an adrenaline rush we highly recommend a Highland Safari. This pulse-racing adventure combines the beautiful Red Deer Centre with an award-winning and totally exhilarating Land Rover safari.
Highland Safari’s were the winner of ‘Best Visitor Experience’ in Scotland and visitors here can also take part in biking, walking and panning for gold at Perthshire’s only gold and gem panning centre.
The Scottish Highlands
Undoubtedly though, the main draw though is the magical Scottish Highlands, voted one of National Geographic’s ‘Best of the World’ destinations for 2023.
A realm of majestic lochs, ancient rivers, towering mountains, cascading waterfalls and dramatic valleys, the Scottish Highlands never fail to impress. Keep eyes peeled for red squirrels, the elusive Scottish wildcat and the iconic Highland cow.
