Nearby Attractions

Gleneagles location in the heart of Scotland makes it the ideal destination for tours and sightseeing.

North is the great wilderness area of the Cairngorms. South is Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital and a World Heritage city. East are Scone Palace, where Scottish kings were crowned, and St Andrews, home of golf. West is the great merchant city of Glasgow.

A short distance away lies the picturesque Glenturret Distillery, the oldest in Scotland, with its award-winning interactive visitor center, The Famous Grouse Experience.

Nearby attractions include the unique Falkirk Wheel, the world’s first and only rotating boatlift which has reconnected the Glasgow to Edinburgh canal network, or a visit to The Royal Yacht Britannia, moored in Edinburgh’s vibrant dockland area.

Take off by Seaplane from nearby Loch Earn for a bird’s eye view of Scotland’s rivers, lochs and harbors, or take the high road on a Scenic Safari through hills and glens, by private invitation of the landowner, in a 4x4 vehicle, where you may see red deer, black grouse, or even a golden eagle soaring overhead.

Stirling Castle

One of Scotland’s most popular visitor attractions, Stirling Castle is also one of the largest in Scotland, and of great importance historically. Built in the 14th and 15th centuries, its stunning location on the promontory of a rocky crag afforded the castle a strong defensive position with panoramic views. Recently a £12 million refurbishment returned 6 of the royal apartments to how they may have looked in the mid 16th century, a real step back in time experience! Free guided tours are available or you can make your way round the castle at your own pace with personal audio tours in several languages.

Blair Atholl Estate and Castle

Lake of Menteith

Scone Palace

Linlithgow Palace

This majestic 15th Century palace was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots and is said to be haunted by her mother Mary of Guise. Today, 450 years later, it lies in ruins and without a roof but it only takes a little imagination to conjure up the spectacle of the palace in its heyday as the home of the Stewart kings. The ruined palace is situated beside a loch, where boat hire is available, within parkland that is dotted with sculptures and a magnificent fountain, making it a beautiful place for a stroll.

Famous Grouse Experience

The Glenturret distillery is Scotland’s oldest, and the spiritual home of Famous Grouse blended whiskey. If you only visit one distillery in Scotland, make it this one. Only a short drive from Gleneagles in the neighbouring town of Crieff, the distillery offers guided tours and a BAFTA award winning interactive display that all ages will love! A restaurant, bar and gift shop make it difficult to drag your self away.

Dalwhinnie Distillery

One of the highest distilleries in the land, clear snow melt water is used to create a warming malt whiskey. And at Dalwhinnie distillery the tours and tastings offer something a little different - a range of Classic Single Malts paired with specially selected luxury highland chocolates. The distillery is a drive north from Gleneagles, towards Inverness, through some spectacular highland scenery.
