The Journey
Dunkeld
Step back in time in Dunkeld, a former religious capital founded by St. Columba and a pivotal site of the 16th-century Jacobite uprising. Explore the historic streets, visit the pot-marked cathedral bearing the scars of battle, and soak in the Highland charm that permeates its independent coffee shops, restaurants, and shops housed in beautifully preserved buildings. Dunkeld serves as a perfect gateway to the Highlands, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
The Hermitage
Lose yourself in the magical Perthshire forest of The Hermitage, originally designed as an 18th-century pleasure ground for the Dukes of Atholl. Wander beneath towering Douglas firs towards the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan plunges into deep, foamy pools. Don't miss Ossian's Hall, a picturesque folly built in 1757, recently refurbished to recreate the original illusions of shock and amazement. It's the perfect place to contemplate the cascading falls and the power of nature.

Soldier's Leap
Descend to the legendary Soldier's Leap, where Donald McBane made his daring escape from the Jacobites in 1689. Retrace his steps on a scenic walk through the trees to the majestic River Garry. Marvel at the location and attempt to match McBane's legendary jump, connecting with a moment of daring heroism in a picturesque Highland setting.
Blair Athol Distillery
Immerse yourself in the world of Scotch whisky at the Blair Athol Distillery, one of Scotland's oldest. Sample a dram at the Mash Tun Bar and, if you're feeling adventurous, bottle your own rare whisky straight from the cask (subject to availability). Consider pre-booking a tour to delve deeper into the whisky-making process and discover the secrets behind Blair Athol's distinctive flavor. It is a true taste of Scotland.
