Loch Tay - Things to do.

[ZOLLAR]

Hello,

My OH and I are driving up from South Wales in November to stay in a Boathouse on the Loch Tay for a week.

We have a few ideas of things we want to do and visit but I was wondering if you had any suggestions about things to do up there say within a 40-50 mile radius?
I'll be taking the Discovery so any suggestions for a bit of off road sight seeing will also be welcome .

Thanks

Not sure where your boathouse is but, off the top of my head ...

• The Crannog Centre is good for a couple of hours.
• On the opposite side, there's a walk with a cracking view of the loch - I'll ask my wife where exactly this evening.
• The Kenmore Hotel is good for informal nosh or a drink.
• Drive over the A826 / A822 to Dunkeld.
• Queen's View.
• Pitlochry.
• Edradour Distillery.

There is a huge amount to do around there. I'll add more here as it pops in to my head.

I hope you have a really good time and the weather is kind to you.

We've hired a boathouse called "The Dipper" if you google it comes up, looking forward to it.
First of all thanks for all the responses!
A Whisky distillery tour was a must but there are quite a few within the 40-50 miles radius according the internet, which would you suggest is the best?
I wouldn't mind finding a proper "family" one or one with a long history (I'd imagine most do though)

We love our walks so looking forward to the views!
Any decent castles around or history of Scotland/ local history places?


Edit, just checked the Crannog Centre is a history type centre.

OP, I found a couple of free visitors’ guide type booklets.

If you want them, PM me an address and I’ll pop them in the post.

PM sent

If you have a sweet tooth have a trip to The Highland Choclatier in Grandtully.

OH is very happy with this

Safe to say I'm looking forward to this now
Will have to plan everything carefully I think!

Kiltie,

Apologies I didn't post sooner was away for the weekend but your post arrived last week.
A big thank you and very much appreciated

Thank you for the card with Breezer on the front (I assume!)

How was the trip OP?

Amazing!

I've been meaning to post some pictures but when I got back to work I found my colleague went on long term leave two days after I went so I've been extremely busy!
I'll post more in the next few days, but we're definitely going to go back in a couple of years and this thread helped a lot.

Good stuff.

We look forward to seeing the pics.

Sorry I haven't updated with pics like I said, I need to trim most down as they're too large to upload to PH.
Will do it this week but in the mean time here's a picture of my Discovery in Glen Etive.
