Things to Do
Whatever the time of the year, Perthshire offers a wealth of cultural, sporting and unashamedly indulgent pursuits, all within very easy reach of Atholl Arms Hotel
So many places lay claim to being the ‘Heart of Scotland'. Well, Perthshire truly is. Gentle glens, capped by cathedral-like peaks that fall away to forested slopes, sparkling clear lochs, rushing rivers, sensational castles and ruins, and famous Scotch whisky distilleries. Home to Gleneagles, one of the finest golf resorts in the world.
Glorious visitor attractions in Perthshire include Killiecrankie, the Queen’s View, Blair Castle, The Hermitage at Dunkeld, Schiehallion, Scotland's favourite mountain, shopping par excellence at the House of Bruar – Scotland's Harrods, Scone Palace, home to Perth Races, and The Famous Grouse Experience at Crieff.
A riot of colour changing as do the seasons, the beauty of Perthshire is perhaps at its most stunning in autumn. This perfect backdrop for relaxation and romance makes weekend breaks, and holidays in Perthshire one of Scotland's fastest-growing pastimes.
