Visit the Hermitage
Wooded Walks
Along the Banks of the River Braan, tucked away in the Craigvinean Forrest, you can find The Hermitage. Protected by The National Trust for Scotland, this extensive woodland is the home to designed landscaping, scenic nature walks, wildlife, and some of the tallest trees in Britain.
Kinnoull Hill
Family Hikes
Kinnoull Hill is one of Perth's most stunning wooded walking areas. There are routes for the whole family, with difficulties ranging from easy to strenuous. If the circular walks do not wear the little ones out, there is a children's activity centre to entertain them.
Scone Palace
Historical Landmarks
Scone Palace was once the heart of the Pictish kingdom, serving as the capital. It was here that, atop the Stone of Destiny, Scottish Kings were crowned. An impressive list of monarchs includes famous names such as Kenneth MacAlpin, Shakespeare's Macbeth, and Robert the Bruce, along with 39 others.
Historical Landmarks
