Perthshire in Scotland is the perfect place for a short break, holiday or a day out exploring. Lying at the heart of Scotland, this beautiful county is only an hour’s drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh. From walking and hiking to ambling round historical sites, from a round of golf to loch and river fishing, Perthshire has something for everybody. It’s also the ideal place to sample some traditional highland fayre, such as local venison, fresh wild salmon, haggis, wild boar, and a wee dram of whisky.

Low Level Walking

Perthshire has always been popular with walkers because of its scenery and wildlife. Deer roam the heather-clad hills and the rare red squirrel makes its home in Scots Pine woods. There are low level walks in secluded glens and hills such as Glen Devon and the Ochils. The Cadger’s Way is one such low level walk from Auchterarder to Glen Devon that follows an old packmen’s path. The highest point is about 1500ft where the views across the Perthshire landscape are breathtaking. Then follow the path down to tranquil Glen Devon where you can enjoy a rest, a bite to eat and a welcome dram. For more walks, the Hallewell Pocket Walking Guide “Walks South Perthshire” is a good source. Czytaj całość »
