Highland Perthshire
Some say this is the most beautiful part of Scotland; others disagree – but they are wrong. Its mix of hills, lochs, moors and mountains distil the essence of what makes the Highlands of Scotland special. Add its remarkable history and it’s unbeatable. |

Blair Atholl
Blair Atholl is there because of the Castle. For a thousand years it has controlled the key pass into the Highlands and seen more than its share of conflict and strife. Today the Castle is one of the nation’s most popular tourist attractions and thousands gather to see the Atholl Highlanders – Britain’s only private regiment – on their parades. |

Dunkeld and Birnam
Dunkeld and Birnam are the twin towns on either side of the majestic river Tay and the gateway to the Highlands. Its cathedral has been destroyed by Vikings, by Jacobite rebels and by Protestant reformers but it remains a place of worship as it has done for 1200 years. Peter Rabbit, Mrs Tiggiwinkle and Jeremy Fisher were all born here, in the fertile mind of Beatrix Potter |

Pitlochry
Pitlochry is one of the great tourist destinations of Scotland, and has been for two centuries. Its position in the centre of the centre of the country, its unrivalled scenery, its plethora of excellent hotels, its unique Festival Theatre, its excellent communications to the rest of the country all maintain its pre-eminence |

Aberfeldy
Aberfeldy really began its life in 1730, growing up by the new bridge built by General Wade across the Tay. While it caters for visitors, it is primarily a place to live, having facilities you only expect in a town five times its size. You can sail down the Tay on rafts, climb mountains, and tumble down canyons. But if it goes wrong you can get your false teeth or your specs repaired, or even find a friendly undertaker. |

Killin
Killin lies on the river Dochart where it enters Loch Tay. The falls above its bridge are one of the most famous sites – and sights – of Scotland. It’s a quiet place, catering for the more discerning visitor who appreciates the peace and beauties of the landscape rather than the noisy man-made attractions. Long may it so remain.table of Iron Age lifestyles can be appreciated. |

Breadalbane
Breadalbane is the heartland of Scotland, the central mountain stronghold from where the Caledonian tribes resisted the invasion of the Romans. It centres on Loch Tay and was once dominated by the mighty Campbell earls from Taymouth at beautiful Kenmore. Unique in Britain is the Crannog Centre where what must have been the most comfortable of Iron Age lifestyles can be appreciated. |
