Pitlochry & Highland Perthshire

View Holidays

Discover the Majesty of Scotland’s Big Tree Country

Only an hour and a half north of Edinburgh, Highland Perthshire is Scotland at its very best. With lush forests, sparkling rivers, and epic mountains like Schiehallion – this is heaven for outdoor enthusiasts.

On top of its natural wonders, this region is home to grand castles, vibrant villages, and famous whisky distilleries. The Victorian spa town of Pitlochry is an excellent base, with a thriving food and drink scene and the renowned Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

Walkers can explore the area’s stunning landscapes on two of Scotland’s finest long-distance trails – the Rob Roy Way and the Cateran Trail. For something more leisurely, tour the region on one of our award-winning self-drive holidays such as Escape to the Highlands.
