Strathfillan Wigwams

Quiet days? Get your boots on for scenic hikes or bring rods and pick up permits on site for fishing in the Fillan river. More active? An hour or so’s drive gets you to rafting, canyoning, off-road safaris, paintballing and a Go Ape adventure park. If you’re a scenery seeker, you’ve certainly come to the right place – especially if you love lochs (and lots of them). Famed Loch Lomond is about 20 minutes away (although you’ll need to keep on trucking for a further half hour if you’d like a cruise), and you may also like to take a look at Loch Tay (25 minutes), Loch Earn (half an hour), Loch Katrine (an hour)… Not been lucky with the wildlife while wandering? Take off to the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre (50 minutes) or the Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre (55 minutes). And although you’ll see many a tree on your travels, it’s worth making a stopoff at the Fortingall Yew Tree (50 minutes) – it’s rumoured to be the most ancient tree in the whole land (possibly the entire continent).
