You get a different perspective of a place when you see it from water and east Perthshire’s Cateran Country is no different.
The rivers Ericht, Isla and Tay run through Cateran Country and whether you want to canoe down the Tay, kayak down the Isla, or paddleboard around some of our lovely lochs, you can try it all here.
Loch of Clunie is located just four miles west of Blairgowrie and is steeped in Scottish history. A small island in the loch is thought to have been a crannog – a type of ancient loch dwelling – originally, and now contains the remains of an old castle. Nearby, the remnants of another old castle, once used by the first king of Scotland Kenneth MacAlpin, can also be found. And as well as being popular with water sports enthusiasts, Clunie Loch is also a favourite with local wild swimmers.
Visitors to east Perthshire’s many beauty spots are encouraged to follow the Outdoor Access Code and leave no trace of their visit to the area, and to take only their rubbish and their memories home with them, ensuring that they leave these areas of outstanding natural beauty just as stunning for others to enjoy.
