The Hermitage

This stretch of magical Perthshire forest was originally designed as a pleasure ground in the 18th century for the Dukes of Atholl. Douglas firs tower over the paths leading to the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan crashes down into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the picturesque folly known as Ossian’s Hall, built in 1757 as the focal point in an extensive designed landscape. Decorated with mirrors, sliding panels and paintings, it has been refurbished to re-create the illusions of shock, surprise and amazement that were the aims of the folly’s original design. It makes a fine spot to contemplate the roaring, tumbling falls. This forest is home to the endangered and elusive red squirrels, and if your trip is in autumn you might see salmon head up the falls to their breeding grounds. A 35 min drive from Scone Palace

A perfect day guaranteed by the perfect drucer

I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Our pre tour communication for timing was just great was our driver and Guide, George R. There was a glitch in our itinerary that I didn’t notice til our lunch stop. George could see it was important and was able to recommend figure do we could see Blacknest Castle, an Outlander location. I truly appreciated the extra touches. Our lunch stop included a feeding with Highlander coos, for which George had brought apples and carrots. Delightful! I appreciate...read more

Loved every minute!

We loved this tour! George was AWESOME! He was incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel very comfortable. We had a good amount of time at each stop on this tour, too, allowing us to really immerse ourselves in the culture and scenery, and were encouraged to take our time. We look forward to returning to Scotland and taking another tour with E2G Travel!

Flexible day

Martin our driver was very flexible with our day. The kids loved Scone Palace with its scavenger hunt and maze. We didn’t have time to go on the nature walk, but Martin showed us a tree that inspired William Shakespeare. He also took us the feed some highland cows and eat at a unique restaurant. Couldn’t be happier!
