River Tay, Dunkeld, Pitlochry, Perthshire Countryside and Beyond

Walking

A pastime which is enjoyed by many here at Kinnaird. We have a number of walks on our 7,000 acre Estate which will lead you to some beautiful views across the Tay Valley, whilst at the same time offering an opportunity to admire some of Scotland’s rarest wildlife amongst the hills and moors. Slightly further a field you will also find some more scenic walks, to mention but a few...The Falls of Bruar, The Hermitage and The Birks of Aberfeldy.

Fishing

The River Tay is Scotland’s largest and best known salmon river and runs through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. This includes Kinnaird Estate which is renowned for its salmon and trout fishing and has five miles of the River Tay running through the Estate. This is split into two beats, Upper and Lower Kinnaird, and provides a great opportunity to fish on the Tay.

Our Head Ghillie is Mr James Tritton and he can be contacted for further information or for bookings; Telephone 01796 482331 or Mobile 07786 772313
