Pathgreen Glamping

The Ochil Hills, glens and woodland walks are accessed straight from the glamping pod, or you can cycle around Lomond Hills Regional Park (40 minutes’ drive). The site owners are on hand to help you organise all sorts of things like guided walks, bicycle hire and lunch bookings. If you’re holidaying with kids, top of the list may be Blair Drummond Safari Park (45 minutes) for its raptor flying displays and dinosaur trails, while any excess energy can be burnt off on the climbing frames at Active Kids Adventure Park (35 minutes). Perth is gateway to the Highlands and guided tours of imposing Scone Palace, home to Scottish monarchs; other historic landmarks in the area include Renaissance-era Falkland Palace and Garden (all half an hour), and Lochleven Castle (25 minutes) former prison of Mary, Queen of Scots, and accessed only by boat. Path of Condie may be tucked away in peaceful countryside, but you can easily visit Edinburgh (an hour’s drive) or Glasgow (an hour and 10 minutes) for a taste of big-city life. If you’d prefer to head for the coast, university town St Andrews (an hour) offers long walks on the West Sands, a haunted castle and ruined cathedral.
