Blairgowrie is the gateway to Glenshee which caters for year-round sports including skiing, golfing, mountain biking, abseiling, hang-gliding and paragliding. Close by, the village of Meikleour boasts the Meikleour Beech Hedge which was planted in 1746 and is officially recognised as the tallest hedge in the world.

In Coupar Angus visit the ruins of Coupar Abbey or the Tolbooth Tower which was once a prison or spend a quiet afternoon at Larghan Victory Park. In nearby Meigle, 8 miles south east of Blairgowrie the Museum houses a wonderful collection of sculpted stones of the Celtic Christian period. Excavated from the local churchyard they now represent the largest collection of their kind in existence.

Beyond Meigle is the village of Glamis. Here you will find Glamis Castle, childhood home to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. When in Glamis be sure to also visit The National Trust For Scotland's Angus Folk Museum.
