There are a great number of outdoor activities in the area with way marked trails for walkers and cyclists, corbett's and munro's for hill walking, fishing in the rivers Tay and Tummel (permits available locally) and pony trekking. There are numerous 9 and 18 hole golf courses and a wide range of water sports with white water rafting, canoeing, canyoning and river bugging to name a few. Take a trip to Aberfeldy and visit the watermill; this listed mill is now a bookshop, gallery and cafe. Continue on to Kenmore and visit the Scottish Crannog Centre, where you can learn about life in these ancient loch dwellings. With Perth just 30 mins away and Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness just a 90 minute drive, Smiddy Cottage is an ideal base from which to explore or just simply sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.
