"Set just off Pitlochry's main street, is a quiet floral haven with working water wheel and lade, great food all day long, live bands and lovely rooms."

"These pretty waterfalls are located in the small village of Killin, set on the northeastern edge of the national park. Stand on the village’s narrow stone bridge and watch the crashing white water furiously rush by beneath your feet. With the misty spray upon your face and the churning river below, it’s hard not to feel swept away by the pure power of nature."

"About an hours drive north of Loch Katrine in the village of Killin are the beautiful Falls of Dochart. Here you can watch the water as it tumbles around the rocks and under the village bridge, as well as around the islands of Inchbuie, the traditional and ancient burial place of Clan Macnab."

"One of the most popular tourist attractions in Scotland, magnificent Blair Castle – and its surrounding estates – is the seat of the Duke of Atholl, head of the Murray clan. (The current duke visits every May to review the Atholl Highlanders, Britain’s only private army.) It’s an impressive white heap set beneath forested slopes above the River Garry. Thirty rooms are open to the public and they present a wonderful picture of upper-class Highland life from the 16th century on."

"Blair Castle: This beautiful castle was just featured on an episode of Victoria and it’s right off the motorway, so stop if you have the time! Beautiful Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness just outside Inverness"

"In the village of Balquhidder (ball-whidder), 9 miles north of Callander off the A84, there's a churchyard with – perhaps – Rob Roy's grave. It's an appropriately beautiful spot in a deep, winding glen in big-sky..."

"Scotland’s oldest lending library (founded in 1680) houses a huge collection of rare, interesting and ancient books, some of them 500 years old. If you have any interest in books you could easily spend half a day here in the company of voluntary guides, who will point out interesting volumes or find books on subjects that interest you. The library is signposted along a farm road about 5 miles southeast of Crieff, off the B8062."

"Less than a mile south of Kenmore on the banks of Loch Tay is the fascinating Scottish Crannog Centre, perched on stilts above the loch. Crannogs – effectively artificial islands – were a favoured form of defensive dwelling from the 3rd millennium BC onwards. This superb re-creation (based on studies of Oakbank crannog, one of 18 discovered in Loch Tay) offers a guided tour that includes an impressive demonstration of fire making and Iron Age crafts."

"The Sir Walter Scott has been cruising on Loch Katrine since 1900, and while the world around has moved on, I suspect the views and experience are somewhat similar to those experienced by the Victorians who took this boat, way back in the day. The views are magnificent, and experiencing a Scottish loch from the water is a must-have experience. There’s even a bar on-board, should you wish to enjoy a wee dram (or, in our case, a hot chocolate) as you steam across the lake."

"This loch was a favorite among Victorian visitors—mysterious and wide and, at times, quite wild. Today it's the source of Glasgow's…"

"An elegant Victorian house with stunning views, superb food and a sincere, friendly welcome. Tigh-Na-Cloich (House on the Sentinel Stone) has a commanding position overlooking the Tummel Valley and Pitlochry, dating back to 1879 and built on a former historic lookout point. "RENOWNED FOR ITS FOOD" The Tigh-Na-Cloich is personally run and supervised by Peter and Helen Williams, committed to providing a superior level of service for their guests."

"The Atholl Palace Hotel, the epitome of Scottish baronial splendour, stands imposingly overlooking wooded parkland grounds and the town of Pitlochry. Originally opened as the Athole Hydropathic in Victorian times, the property is now a major resort and destination with spectacular gardens, a spa and a museum featuring the life and times of the hotel. Welcome to a unique location, where the sounds of bagpipes may frequently be heard, where you will not forget the view of Ben-y-Vrackie as you stroll on the terrace in the evening sun, where a genuinely warm Highland welcome awaits you."

"This fairy-tale location in Pitlochry comes with a spa, museum, award-winning gardens and stunning mountain and river views. This grand four-star hotel is in the heart of Highland Perthshire, a stone’s throw away from the town of Pitlochry and a one-hour drive from Edinburgh airport. With so much on-site, our star pick is suitable for both couples and families that need a break in the countryside."
