Barrie (Peter Pan) is a journey of fifteen miles. An added attraction in Kirriemuir is the Camera Obscura.

Another point of interest is the rebuilt Crannog on Loch Tay. This type of dwelling predates recorded history and was built on water to protect against attack by other tribes and wild animals.

Visitor centres for Caithness Glass and Stuart Crystal are nearby, along with many Scottish craft shops and centres.

The weather in the area is some of the best in the whole of the United Kingdom, being sheltered by mountains on the west from most of the rain. Don't believe the weather forecasts shown on television! Days are long in the summer - sometimes there is still light at midnight and dawn is not long after.

There are many good walks within easy reach, both high and low level. Perthshire is famous for its hill walking and mountaineering, including many Munros (mountains over 3000 ft) such as Ben Lawers and Schiehallion.
