Groupon’s Guide To Perth and Kinross

Set in southeast Scotland and approximately coinciding with the historical Perthshire, Perth and Kinross is ideally endowed for outdoor sports activities and heritage tourism. Ancient forests, old cities, towns and villages, rolling glens and majestic golf courses blend in a setting that delights both the outdoorsy in love with the fascinating wildlife of Scotland and the visitors with a penchant for other leisurely activities.

The late medieval Blair Castle and Drummond Castle are iconic remains of the past, but travellers keen on heritage tourism will surely appreciate sights like the vestiges of Whitefield Castle. Restless visitors keen on hiking can take on the 103-km long Cateran Trail, which starts in Blairgowrie, and then lose themselves in the wilderness of the Grampian Mountains.
