Kinross, Perthshire Guide

Gliding Experience

Add to List

Introduction

Set above Loch Leven near Kinross, Experience Gliding offers a rare chance to fly without an engine, relying on air currents and skilled handling rather than speed. After a short briefing, visitors are launched by aerotow before the glider releases and begins a quiet, controlled flight over hills, farmland and open water. Air Experience flights last around 20 minutes and are led by qualified instructors who explain what is happening as you go. Conditions vary day to day, which shapes each flight, but the emphasis remains on calm, awareness and time spent airborne rather than thrills. It suits anyone curious about flight, with vouchers available and no previous experience required.

Location

Experience Gliding operates from Portmoak Airfield near Kinross, overlooking Loch Leven. The site sits on the slopes of Bishop Hill and is easily reached from the M90. Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee are all around an hour away, with walking routes and viewpoints close by for before or after your flight.
