Loch of the Lowes, Nr.Dunkeld Perthshire PH8 0HH


Letter Farm is situated at the end of the Lunan Valley, 3 miles east of the historic cathedral town of Dunkeld, nestling between Butterstone Loch and Loch of the Lowes. The Loch of Lowes is a Scottish Wildlife Reserve, home to visiting Osprey, which have nested and reared chicks since 1991. Otters, Fallow and Roe deer can be seen, as well as a wide variety of birdlife. The farm is very central for touring Perthshire or Angus, visitng their many golf courses, historic houses and castles, cycling, walking- exploring the mountians or glens,fishing or generally unwinding amongst fantastic scenery. The Arts are catered for well, by Birnam, Pitlochry and Perth, all holding Arts and Music festivals. Mods are held throughout the year in the smaller more outlying towns. Dunkeld itself lies on the banks of the Tay, and is steeped in history. It was the first ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, the ruin of the cathedral still dominates Dunkeld today. An extremely good network of walks will take you to local beauty spots, and enable you to apreciate both this majestic town, and its sister town Birnam. Here you will find The Birnam Oak, and a permanent exhibition and garden dedicated to Beatrix Potter.

Drive only a few miles more and you are in highland Perthshire amongst the mountains and glens. For the ulimate experience, climb Schehallion or Ben Lawers for the stunning views across Lochs Rannoch and Tummel. After that, perhaps a wee dram will be called for. Experience the golden nectar at one of Perthshires 4 distilleries. Glenturret at Crieff being the oldest, Edradour at Pitlochry being the smallest in Scotland.
