For those who love the great outdoors, there is an endless list of activities for you to enjoy or even try for the first time! Known as the 'fairy glen', Glenshee is a magical location from which to enjoy mountain climbing, walking, angling, golfing and photography. Its Ski Centre (12 miles) is one of the most popular in the UK, with no less than 38 amazing skiing and snowboarding runs across three glorious valleys. If you're keen to observe Scottish wildlife, this is one of the places to do it! Herds of roe deer can be seen foraging for food, red squirrels bounce across the landscape, and there is the potential to spot a golden eagle!
During the balmier months, take on the accessible hike of Spittal of Glenshee, beginning at Dalmunzie Castle Hotel (1.5 miles) and finishing 3 miles later at Gulabin Lodge. This route takes you through breathtaking mountain ranges, glens and little rivers and is fabulous for all fitness levels. Enjoy the area's natural beauty from the Dalmunzie Golf Course, one of the highest 9-hole courses in Britain. Even if you have a shoddy round, you'll still adore the views!
For those in the group that love shopping, one of the largest towns in Perthshire, Blairgowrie (19.5 miles), is worth a trip. It's filled with independent shops, boutiques, a museum and plenty of eateries to choose from.
