Perth and Kinross is a beautiful region of Scotland with a diverse landscape of mountains, lochs, rivers, woodlands, barren moors, fertile farmland and the river plains around Perth. Perth, known as the gateway to the Highlands, straddles the River Tay before it widens out into the Firth of Tay. It is an ancient town, having been inhabited by Romans, Picts and Celtic missionaries. The wooded hills and valleys north of Perth provide a stunning setting for small towns and villages, such as Crieff, Dunkeld and Aberfeldy. Further north, towns such as Pitlochry and Blair Atholl are set in awesome barren mountains and moors.
Kinross lies about 15 miles south of Perth near the M90 beside Loch Leven, a National Nature Reserve, and the 14th century Loch Leven Castle is where Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoner.
Perthshire & Kinross offers an abundance of leisure activities - salmon fishing, walking, climbing and watersports on the lochs - and places of historical interest to explore. Thus this area can provide a varied holiday for visitors - set against the backdrop of magnificent and tranquil scenery.
