Eco Pods Kilry

If you’re banking on some beauty spots while you make your way around the Highlands, this is a good place to be. First off, there’s the Reekie Linn Waterfall (five minutes' drive) for a trail alongside the gorge or the Loch of Lintrathen (10 minutes), a reservoir where birdwatchers or hiking fans will be in a prime spot. Get to some more hiking or wildlife spotting… there's a great deal of this around Glenisla (15 minutes) or up in the mountains of the Cairngorms National Park (20 minutes). Meanwhile, those of you who have a thing for fishing on your holiday might want to get down to the Lintrathen Angling Club (10 minutes) for their trout fishing. As for the towns, well, there’s a museum and gallery in both Blairgowrie (20 minutes) and Forfar (30 minutes) – and the latter has tales of witch hunts that took place there in the 17th century. There are the cities too… perhaps fab food and shopping all around Perth (40 minutes) and in Dundee (40 minutes) too, where there's the Discovery Point with the remains of a ship that took sail to the Antarctic way back. Other nostalgic-type places include the Scone Palace (35 minutes) and its huge grounds or Glamis Castle (25 minutes), the inspiration for Shakespeare’s play Macbeth.
