Description

You leave Edinburgh and travel over the Queensferry Crossing, enjoying views of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you journey north through the Kingdom of Fife, the scenery transforms from the rolling farmland of the Lowlands to forested hills and mountains as you approach the Highland Fault line in Perthshire. Continuing through Perthshire, often referred to as 'Big Tree Country,' you find the gorgeous cathedral town of Dunkeld situated on the banks of the River Tay. You stop here and have the chance to explore the architecturally fascinating cathedral or walk the quaint streets of this picturesque village. It's a short drive from here to the Hermitage, where you can take a fantastic woodland walk amongst majestic Douglas firs and ancient oaks leading up to the stunning Black Linn Falls. Leaving the Hermitage you follow the River Tay towards the Victorian resort town of Pitlochry. Here you have lunch and some time to stroll past traditional pubs and local cafes. Then, you take a scenic drive through the mountains of Highland Perthshire, and take a short stop at the Queen's View overlooking Loch Tummel. On a clear day the view here is awe-inspiring as it looks over to Schiehallion, 'mountain of the faeries” in Gaelic. From here, you travel to the town of Aberfeldy and step inside Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery. Discover the secret of how Scotland's national drink is made and savour a well-deserved dram. After you've enjoyed a dram of our ‘water of life', the tour returns through rich forests of Highland Perthshire heading south to the Lowlands and back to Edinburgh.
