Perthshire - 'all of Scotland' as it is known. Perth, the fair city - where city meets country. Outstanding local 'must visits' are the Fair Maid's House in Curfew Row, The City Art gallery and museum, the theatre (we can arrange early and late meals and suppers), the Black Watch Museum, The City Mills, The new Perth Concert Hall... and of course Scone Palace, a stunningly beautiful building where Robert the Bruce and King Charles II were crowned, and whose grounds house the little racecourse.
Climb Kinnoull Hill for a stunning view of the Tay Valley.
Short trips take you to the Perthshire Visitor Centre, to idyllic Dunkeld and the Hermitage, where Scotland's tallest tree stands, to Pitlochry with its 'Theatre in the Hills', its distilleries, dam and fish ladder, and its lovely highland shops. A little beyond Pitlochry, Blair Castle awaits and you can shop till you drop at the House of Bruar - 'Scotland's Harrods'. And also nearby are Blairgowrie, Crieff, with Scotland's oldest distillery, Glenturret - and a fine visitor centre too! - and indeed Stirling, of castle, Wallace Monument and Bannockburn fame.
Easy and scenically scintillating day trips take you to Braemar and into Royal Deeside, Aberfeldy Loch Tay and Killin, Glencoe, Rannoch and Schiehallion via the immortal 'Queens View', The Trossachs, The bonnie coastal fishing towns of Fife - and Dundee - 'city of Discovery' - the trip is short but Dundee has become so vibrant and modern its really worth taking time to explore.
The diversity of terrain throughout Perthshire makes it suitable for any activity. Utilising Sunbank House Hotel as your touring/activity base, your golf, ski, cultural, adventure or leisure activity becomes remarkably easy to access.
The Perthshire area is accomplished for all the renowned activities associated with golf, skiing, deer-stalking, fishing, hill walking, cycling, shooting, pony-trekking and all manner of adventure activities in Scotland including white water rafting, kayaking, clay pigeon shooting, canyoning, highland safaris, paintball, abseiling and zorbing.
