Blessed with glens, lochs, rivers, castles and ruins, Perthshire truly is the 'Gateway to the Highlands'. A popular choice because of its lengthy walking trails and impressive concentration of visitor attractions from Blair Castle and Scone Palace to the Famous Grouse Experience, the region is also known for Gleneagles, Birnham Wood (of Macbeth fame) and Queens View, which offers one of the best views in Scotland.
The 'Fair City' of Perth was Scotland's first capital and is well worth exploring on a coach trip, while the Victorian town of Pitlochry and Blairgowrie, known for its raspberries and strawberry production, is also worth a visit on an escorted tour.
