About the area

Perthshire is a wonderful base for a holiday with easy access by road or rail to many parts of Scotland. The steep sided glens of the Ochil Hills have long been popular with walkers and protect the valleys of Strathallan and southern Strathearn.

The area is full of history and one of Scotland’s finest Roman Camps, Ardoch Fort is to be found at Braco. Dunning lies a few miles east of Auchterarder and is home to the Dupplin Cross, an 8 foot example of Pictish stonework that is housed in St Serf’s Church with its Norman tower.
