Their own definition sits at the top of the page: the active participation in an event or activity, leading to the accumulation of knowledge or skill. The hotel keeps twelve guides to acquiring some.
From the foreshore
The loch is included.
Guests of the hotel fish Loch Earn for brown trout within their rate. The brave take a wild water dip from the foreshore; the calm take a paddle; and seven miles of water westwards decide the rest of the day. The A85 runs along the shore, so the munros, the glens and the whisky are all a windscreen away.
Their twelve guides, verbatim
Twelve ways into Scotland.
Wildlife to whisky, munro-bagging to ghosts and ghouls. Each line opens the hotel's own guide.
Perthshire, near at hand
Scone Palace to the Fortingall Yew.
Their Perthshire list runs from Scone Palace and The Hermitage to the salmon ladder at Pitlochry, the Crannog Centre on Loch Tay, afternoon tea at Gleneagles and a photograph at the Fortingall Yew. Further afield: the Outlander trail, Ben Nevis, the Northern Lights and a night in a bothy. The reception desk on 01764 685 333 will point the way to any of it.
