Quarryhill Certificated Location

There’s some gorgeous scenery around here, and numerous ways to explore some of it – perhaps walking on the trails of Tay Forest Park or checking out the wildlife and waterfall at The Hermitage (National Trust for Scotland) (both 25 minutes’ drive). Local activity providers can sort you out with days of watersports, canyoning, horse riding and ATV driving, or you could keep it more low key with a round at The Blairgowrie Golf Club (10 minutes). These landscapes are packed with heritage too – from the ancient Ranageig Stone Circle to the grand Glamis Castle and Scone Palace (all about half an hour away). Whisky is a big part of Scottish culture too, so see if you can organise a tour (or at least a purchase) at Blair Athol Distillery (half an hour), Strathearn Distillery (40 minutes) or one of the other options nearby. For urban days out, you may like to pick Perth (35 minutes) for its museums, art gallery and theatre, or try Dundee (45 minutes), home to the V&A Dundee, several galleries and museums… and a statue of Desperate Dan.
