The Unspoiled Heart of Scotland

Welcome to the friendly, unspoiled heart of Scotland, with real hospitality, clear sparkling air, beautiful scenery, rich history, fine food, plenty to do - and helpful local people to make your holiday easy and fun. Forget about the congestion and queues - Blair Atholl has everything!

Spectacular Scenery

The River Garry rushes through the heart of Atholl like a silver thread linking all the villages and glens. The lively Atholl rivers combine with the mountains, hills and glens to create some of the finest scenery in Scotland, and the Atholl villages - Calvine, Blair Atholl, Bruar, Killiecrankie, and Struan - offer some of the finest hospitality in a natural, unspoiled setting.

Access to our Atholl scenery is easy - whether you like country roads, bicycle paths, waymarked trails, or tours guided and unguided. If you walk, you will discover plentiful wildlife and plants, and you may even see red or roe deer.

Rich History

From the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 to the Jacobite rebellions of the 18th century, this area has a rich history, much of it central to Scotland's history. Visitors can discover some of this history at Blair Castle and other local attractions and museums.
