“A vast array of wildlife in the forest canopy”
IF you want to acquire a good idea of all Highland Perthshire has to offer then a circular trip from Crieff along the banks of Loch Tay into Aberfeldy is perfect.
As well as Loch Tay this 120km (75-mile) Great Scottish Journey visits Loch Earn, a number of welcoming villages such as Killin, Comrie and Kenmore, some of Scotland’s finest woodland – this is Big Tree Country, remember – and grants views of several impressive mountains.
Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin rise majestically above Loch Earn while Ben Lawers towers above the northern fringes of Loch Tay. The spectacular Falls of Dochart provide some drama, the Scottish Crannog Centre delves into our fascinating history while the Birks of Aberfeldy boasts a vast array of wildlife within its spectacular forest canopy. During autumn the colours are incredible.
The villages en route provide lovely places to stop for a break and enjoy this wonderful part of Scotland.
