Local Attractions
Kinkell does not have to be all about the fishing, as there are a large number of local attractions for all to enjoy.
Gleneagles
Conveniently located 10 minutes from the beat, the award winning internationally renowned Gleneagles Hotel boasts three of the UK’s bucket list of champion golf courses, the number one health spa in Scotland, Andrew Fairlie’s only two-Michelin star restaurant in Scotland, and a wide range of outdoor activities such as falconry, clay pigeon shooting, off-road driving adventures to name but a few.
Glenturret Distillery
Scotland’s oldest working distillery and welcomes visitors for their very interesting distillery tours. These give visitors a wonderful view of the traditional method of whisky making. Its secluded location hidden deep in a Perthshire glen is believed to be what contributed to its early history as a site for several illicit bothy stills. The surrounding high hills were deemed to be the perfect look out point for the smugglers.
Drummond Castle Garden
Just a short drive from Kinkell and believed to be one of Europe’s most impressive formal Gardens. The gardens date back to the 17th century and were redesigned in the 19th century. They have featured in a number of films and TV programmes over the years.
Hill Walking
There are a number of stunning walks around Kinkell for all ages and abilities, ranging from gentle woodland rambles and riverside trails, to the somewhat more challenging hill climbs and Munro adventures. There are over seven Munro’s to be conquered around Crieff, many of which are around the Glenturret Distillery.
The house of Bruar
Just 48 miles away and is Scotland’s premier independent country fashion retailer with an extensive collection of country clothing for all. It also has a wonderful food, home and garden section, as well as an art gallery, café and restaurant. It is well worth a visit!
Falls of Acharn
Located in a steep sided gorge, just 1 mile from the village of Acharn, access the falls by walking through the dark ‘Hermits Cave’ which will take you onto an impressive, wooded amphitheater with an excellent viewpoint over the 25 meter waterfalls. The falls were said to have been frequently visited by William Wordsworth in the early 1800’s.
