Location
Loch Tay Leisure Park is situated in the central highlands on the shores of Loch Tay. Arguably one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland surrounded by mountains, rivers and lochs and still within easy driving distance of Edinburgh, Stirling or Glasgow.

The lodges are just a short drive from the scenic village of Killin and the picturesque Falls of Dochart. Highland Perthshire is renowned for its wealth of historical sites, natural beauty and wildlife. Centrally situated the leisure park makes the ideal base for touring and sightseeing around the Highlands and Central Scotland.

Loch Tay

Loch Tay is a quite superb location for fantastic highland touring and sightseeing in Scotland. Breath taking scenery, majestic mountains, imposing castles and an abundance of wildlife make your stay unforgettable.

Loch Tay is 14 miles long but as it only averages about one mile wide, it is only Scotland's sixth largest loch at 10.2 square miles (26.4 square km). The loch is fed at its eastern end by the rivers Dochart and Lochay and the river Tay starts at the western end at the village of Kenmore on its 120-mile journey to the sea (making it Scotland's longest).

Loch Tay doesn't have a monster (like the one reputed to inhabit Loch Ness) although anglers who go out during the fishing season keep hoping to catch a monster fish. Loch Tay has remained uncommercialised and tranquil, unlike some other areas of open water such Loch Earn, six miles to the south, which has lots of watersport activity. Loch Tay has nothing noisier than a few canoes which can be hired by visitors here.
 
Rising to 3984 feet above Loch Tay (1214 metres) Ben Lawers is the highest mountain in Perthshire but only the 9th highest in Scotland. But rising from Loch Tay and with neighbouring mountains almost as high, it is an important nature reserve and 19,000 acres are now administered by the National Trust for Scotland and the Nature Conservancy Council. Although its flora are protected from sheep, the increasing numbers of hill walkers attracted by relatively easy climbs and great views create other problems. There is an information centre on the Bridge of Balgie road with trails leading from there to the top.

Killin
A very leisurely and beautifully scenic trip, taking in Schiehallion, Aberfeldy, Killin and the delightful little village of Fortingall (featuring the oldest tree in Scotland), nestling at the foot of the eastern end of Ben Lawers. Try to visit Castle Menzies and the House of Menzies near Aberfeldy too.

Castle Menzies
This spectacular sixteenth century castle, restored by the Menzies Clan Society, welcomes visitors. Seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years and importantly situated, it was involved in the turbulent history of the Highlands and here Bonnie Prince Charlie rested on his way to Culloden in 1746.

The Crannog Centre
The Scottish Crannog Centre is a popular visitor attraction on Loch Tay. It is a complete reconstruction of how the ancient peoples lived and worked many thousands of years ago. Enjoy a shore-based exhibition and visitor centre displaying some of the original house timbers and objects used by the Iron Age loch-dwellers.

Ben Lawers Visitor Centre

The Trust’s hill ground is a National Nature Reserve, especially for the arctic-alpine flora, and is also of international importance. We manage it in collaboration with Scottish Natural Heritage, to achieve a wide range of conservation objectives for both organisations. These include the long-term survival of the native species of plant and animal and their habitats, protection of the landscape and the remains of the long history of human activity, ‘for the benefit of the nation’.

Dewars World of Whisky

Dewar's World of Whisky is a quite sensational modern visitor centre, featuring a unique interactive exhibition showing the courageous ‘spirit’ of the Dewar family. The blending room is a recreation of the Master Blender's room at the offices in Perth around 1929.

Distillery Tours
A great round day trip is Dalwhinnie(home of one of the six Classic Malts), Edradour ( Scotland 's smallest) and Blair Atholl at Pitlochry, Glenturret ( Scotland 's oldest), at Crieff, then return via Dewars at Aberfeldy ( Scotland 's newest distillery visitor centre) - all have excellent visitor centres and you'll get a free dram in every one!
