Printed in Issue Six of Hidden Scotland Magazine, Spring and Summer 2023.
With vibrant forests and woodlands, rivers bursting with crystal clear water, cascading waterfalls tumbling into quiet glens and a myriad of activities for both young and old, Perthshire is the ideal place to enjoy a family break. Solitary and peaceful, adventure-packed and active, Perthshire has something for everyone.
Known as the Big Tree Country, Perthshire gives Scotland its lungs, with lush, leafy green in summer that turns to rich oranges, russet browns, golds and yellows in autumn. Each season brings magic and drama to this compelling and inspiring landscape.
