Logierait Lodges

All levels of walkers and bike riders should be able to find plenty of routes to follow in the local area, from gentle strolls by Loch Tay (half an hour’s drive) to more challenging treks among the peaks of the Cairngorms National Park (20 minutes). An activity centre in Ballinluig (five minutes) is the place for rafting, canyoning and abseiling, and there’s golf to play in Pitlochry (10 minutes), Aberfeldy (15 minutes) and Kenmore (half an hour). Dial down the pace a little after all that with a thorough exploration of the area’s history: the lavishly decorated Blair Castle (15 minutes) and the fortified Castle Menzies (20 minutes) are both worth a visit, as is Scone Palace (40 minutes), a grand Gothic pile that was once the place where Scottish kings were crowned. There is of course no finer way to finish a day in this part of the world than a few drams of whisky: pick yours up and take tours at Edradour Distillery (10 minutes), Blair Atholl Distillery (10 minutes), Dewar’s (15 minutes) or Glenturret Distillery (45 minutes).
