- The Hermitage Woodland Walk - This enchanting stretch of Perthshire forest was originally crafted as a pleasure ground in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Towering Douglas firs line the paths leading to the thundering Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan cascades into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the charming folly known as Ossian’s Hall, constructed in 1757 as the centerpiece of an extensive designed landscape. Adorned with mirrors, sliding panels, and paintings, it has been restored to recreate the illusions of shock, surprise, and wonder that were the original intentions of the folly’s design. It offers a splendid spot to reflect on the roaring, tumbling falls.
This forest is home to the rare and elusive red squirrels, and if visiting in autumn, one might witness salmon ascending the falls to their spawning grounds.

Tullibardine is among the few distilleries in Scotland where all processes involved in producing single malt whisky occur on-site, except for malting. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute tour of the distillery, with the option to explore Tullibardine’s whisky-making process from start to finish, and the opportunity to taste two single malts, or enjoy a tasting at the bar.
- Doune Castle - Doune Castle is a significant Scottish historic castle, also serving as a filming location for popular TV and films, including Outlander, Game of Thrones, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- National Wallace Monument - The National Wallace Monument is one of Scotland’s most distinctive landmarks. This impressive 220ft tower commemorates the legendary Scottish warrior Sir William Wallace and was constructed in 1869 above the fields where the Battle of Stirling Bridge occurred.
- Stirling Castle - As one of the most significant and largest castles in Scottish history, Stirling Castle is perched atop a hill of volcanic rock overlooking the town of Stirling.
- The Kelpies & The Helix - The Kelpies are the largest equine statues in the world, commissioned not only as a tribute to the horses used in the Scottish coal mines but also as a representation of the mythical Kelpies from Scottish folklore.
