Highlights
  • The Kelpies & The Helix - The 30 metre high Kelpies are truly a sight to behold for the first stop of this amazing tour. These hand-crafted stainless steel structures gleam in the sun of the River Carron; just like the shape-shifting spirits they depict. Please note: these statues are absolutely callosal, so have your cameras at the ready!

  • Culross - With a wide array of perfectly preserved 16th century buildings, squares and streets to wander, a visit to the hidden gem of Culross is a must for any Scottish adventurer!
    Fun Fact: If you’re a fan of the TV series “Outlander”, you may be more familiar will Culross than you think, as many scenes throughout the series were actually filmed in and around the village!

  • Glendevon - Our journey will continue up through the stunning Glendevon and Gleneagles, where the endlessly rolling hills and steep valleys will line our way to one of the worlds most famous golf courses. Whether you’re looking forward to spotting some rare examples of Scottish wildlife, or venturing out into the unexplored reaches of the Highlands; this stretch of our Mini Highland tour will please even the most experienced of travellers!

  • Crieff - For centuries, Highlanders have flocked to Crieff for the yearly Michaelmas cattle sale; when cows of every variety line the narrow streets, waiting to be sold. In 1790, for example, the population of Crieff was just 1,200, which gave the ratio of 10 cows for every resident!
    Today however, Crieff is much more recognised for being the home of Scotlands oldest registered distillery, Glenturret. Or you could even borrow a book from Innerpeffray Library - founded in 1680, it’s Scotland’s oldest lending library! Crieff is a stop everyone will love.

  • Dunkeld - It seems we’ve saved the best till last with our final stop arriving at the beautiful 18th century town of Dunkeld. The historic site offers much to see and do, including Dunkeld Cathedral, The Cross Marketplace and the quaint boutique stores of Brae Street and Atholl Street. This stop is packed with amazing history; like did you know that William Shakespeare has a famous link with the area? Discover more with a visit to Dunkeld!

Lovely day, excellent guide. - Fabulous, relaxing day-long tour getting bits of this and that, which included the Kelpies, the village of Culross, the Glendevon valley, the Gleneagles hotel and golf course, a walk through the hermitage, and the village of Dunkelg and more. Sean is an absolute wealth of information. Further, when one of the roads was closed to traffic, instead of disrupting the day by trying to do the miles-long detour, he had another route in his proverbial back pocket, which we followed for the rest of the day, including some time in a village in which he had lived for awhile. Perfect.

Great Guide! - Stuart, our guide, was amazing! He was knowledgeable and very kind. He made sure I hit a couple Outlander spots, although it wasn’t an Outlander tour. My kids (and husband) got tired and wanted to head back to Edinburgh a little early so we skipped a stop, we could tell Stuart was a little disappointed. It had nothing to do with his guiding, just some of the family was “toured out” after 3 weeks traveling. He made sure to show us some other miscellaneous spots on the way back to our AirBnB. I would definitely recommend Stuart and if I come back again will look him up again!

Excellent Experience - Loved our time with Sean! We did two full day trips out, one to the highlands and another to Outlander locations. Both were planned perfectly and we just sat back and enjoyed! Highly recommend them! Beryl, thanks for all your work behind the scenes!
