Atholl Estates Shepherd's Huts

After you’ve explored your own estate surroundings, head over to adjacent Tulliemet Moor, which is part of the Forest of Clunie SSSI and home to such wildlife as osprey, lapwings, curlews, deer, otters and beavers. For more potential wild encounters, visit the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch of the Lowes reserve (20 minutes’ drive) to see if you can spot the breeding pair of ospreys. If you’d rather just roam, Loch Ordie, a similar distance away, is a popular place for walks and bike rides. Take a break from all the outdoor time with a trip to Pitlochry (15 minutes) to catch a show at the theatre or learn a bit about the local tipple on a tour of Blair Athol Distillery. If you fancy a stroll round a bigger city, it’s about a half-hour drive to Perth or an hour to Dundee for the likes of the V&A Dundee and Verdant Works textile museum.
