Parks & Natural Wonders

Perthshire’s landscape transitions from the fertile Tay Valley to the rugged Grampian Mountains. This collection features the formal Italianate terraces of Drummond Castle and the historic crowning site of Scone Palace. Natural highlights include the 50-square-mile expanse of Rannoch Moor and the Falls of Bruar, famously memorialized in poetry by Robert Burns. Visitors can explore the National Trust’s Branklyn Garden, known for rare Himalayan blue poppies, or walk the wooded trails of The Hermitage to view the Falls of the Braan from the 18th-century Ossian’s Hall.
