Beautiful Perthshire

Perthshire is right in the centre of Scotland and easily reached from Scotland’s cities. It is on the border of the Highlands and fertile Lowlands and so contains the wildlife found in both these areas, ensuring there is lots to see! Also known as Big Tree Country, there is a huge range of beautiful woodlands to visit. On a day out you could visit Europe’s oldest tree, see beautiful waterfalls, lochs, wildflower meadows and woodlands. We can help you find grouse, deer, ospreys, leaping salmon and beavers!

Perthshire caters well for the electric vehicle driver with chargers in most towns including Kinross, Perth, Dunkeld, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Blairgowrie and Alyth (there are more but these are the ones we use most frequently).

We are on the way between Edinburgh and the very popular North Coast 500 route, so in a perfect place for you to stop off to kick-start your wildlife watching experiences. We also have the new Heart 200 route, the Snow Roads, the Cateran Trail & the Cairngorms National Park, all of which are in beautiful Perthshire countryside.
