Perthshire is full of contrasts: it can be romantic yet dynamic, exciting yet tranquil, stimulating yet relaxing.

Situated right in the heart of Scotland among some of the country’s most varied landscapes and easily accessible from across the UK, Perthshire offers a host of attractions and activities – everything from history to horticulture – to suit all ages and interests.

This area is also known as Big Tree Country and boasts some of Europe’s most remarkable trees and woodlands, including one of Britain’s tallest trees, Europe’s oldest living thing and the world’s highest hedge. Adventure seekers will love the choice of over 35 outdoor activities ranging from white water rafting and river bugging, to the more leisurely golf, walking and cycling while city lovers won’t be disappointed by Perth’s vibrant mix of shopping, culture and entertainment, with award-winning restaurants and markets offering the finest local produce.

With so much to stimulate the senses, why start your visit to Scotland anywhere else?
