Create Your Own Adventures in Pitlochry.
Discover your next adventure at Fonab Castle.
Perthshire offers a breathtaking array of outdoor activities that will satisfy even the wildest adventurers. Try Wild Salmon Fishing with our expert guides, or explore the area's wild countryside on a specially designed 4×4 track with Land Rover Experience Scotland.
Pitlochry is an exceptional destination for country sports, particularly deer stalking and grouse shooting on a nearby estate.
Shooting
From game shooting – including pheasant, grouse, partridge, hare and pigeon – to wildfowling, deer stalking – to ‘birdies’ of a different kind with County Clays at our sister hotel Dunkeld House Hotel.
Target Clay Shooting
The offsite shooting centre is the largest sporting clay pigeon range in Scotland. It consists of 14 stands, each incorporating six to nine different targets, from bolting rabbits and driven grouse to fast pheasants.
Deer Stalking & Pheasant, Partridge & Grouse Shoots
Deer stalking in Scotland has centuries of history and tradition behind it, and is an excellent way to really get to know the country and its wildlife. Atholl Estate is famous for having some of the finest red stag stalking in Scotland, but we also offer hind stalking, along with some roe and fallow.
Land Rover Experience
Land Rover Experiences run 7 days a week, all year round.
This is your chance to get behind the wheel of a Landrover and enjoy the thrill of off-road driving on their challenging course and develop your driving skills. You will be collected from Fonab Castle and taken to the Centre on the banks of Butterstone Loch.
Develop your driving skills with a half-day experience and gain a greater understanding of vehicle control, obstacle handling, and how to assess different environments. Or opt for a more challenging terrain and refine your driving technique with a full-day experience. Navigate various off-road elements and attain a higher level of confidence that will prepare you for real-world environments.
Highland Offroad Quad Treks
The adventure starts on the assault course where you will tackle camel-back humps, cobbles and steep hillsides, later moving into the forest where you will experience wide-open tracks and narrow woodland paths. Quad treks are suitable for children over the age of 12 if accompanied by an adult.
There is something for everyone, whether you are looking for a family fun day out, an adventure for a group of friends or a corporate event. With access to over 280 acres of highland estate, not only will you have fun, but you will enjoy some of Perthshire’s finest scenery and wildlife along the way.

Feel like a local by hiring one of the fabulous road vehicles from Land Rover and you can drive yourself to explore the fabulous countryside. We can arrange for your vehicle to be delivered to Fonab for use during your stay or they can collect or deliver vehicles from anywhere in Scotland. For airport collections, 4×4 Hire (Scotland) provide an excellent Meet & Greet service.

Bungee Jumping
Amidst the iconic scenery of Highland Perthshire, bungee jump 40m from the Garry Bridge in the stunning location of Killiecrankie. The first permanent bungee site in the UK after opening in 2011 and since then has had over 30,000 people bungee.
Jump from 40m over water for a thrilling afternoon.
White Water Rafting
Whitewater rafting is an activity for everyone, and some of the best Rafting is available in Scotland. Available all year round, with half- and full-day rafting adventures, choose either River Tay, a 6-mile stretch from Aberfeldy, or River Tummel, north of Pitlochry.
Experience more with canyoning on the waters, featuring something for everyone: big cliff jumps, small cliff jumps, waterfall swims, slides, caves, and a cable ‘via ferrata’ style traverse with a 5-meter slide drop. This is one of the most beautiful canyon trips in Scotland in the Falls of Bruar.
Additionally, the Adventure Tubing trip offers the best of both worlds; kick it off with some adrenaline-packed cliff jumping, then relax and enjoy the float down the gorge where not many have gone before.
