Perthshire
Out and about in Perthshire
To many, Perthshire is an extended celebration of the great outdoors, and you'll find here activities ranging from gentle strolls through ancient oak forests to river-rafting down the rapids of the River Tay. The variety of landscapes and their relative accessibility from the Central Belt also mean that there are a significant number of operators based in the area. Many of these are linked to the tourist board's Activity Line (tel 01577/861186, www.adventureperthshire.co.uk), which can give advice and contacts for around thirty different outdoor activities and sports. For canyoning, cliff-jumping and white-water kayaking, get in touch with adrenalin junkies Nae Limits (tel 01250/876310, www.nae-limits.com); while for rafting on larger craft through the best rapids on the Tay at Grandtully try Splash (tel 01887/829706) or Freespirits (tel 01887/829280), both based in Aberfeldy. Also near Aberfeldy are Highland Adventure Safaris (tel 01887/820071), giving an inspiring introduction to wild Scotland in which you're taken by four-wheel-drive vehicle to search for golden eagle eyries, stags and pine martens.
