Perth and Kinross TRAVELTAPE

Welcome to the TRAVELTAPE audio guide to PERTH and KINROSS. This is the fourth title in a series planned to cover Scotland.

TRAVELTAPE is designed to be listened to before or during any visit to this scenic and historic county.

Where do you begin to describe the many wonders of Perth and Kinross? The superlatives seem endless. It certainly is the heart of Scotland, both geographically and historically, and possesses the most varied landscape in the country.

Perthshire boasts the world’s most famous salmon fishing river - the Tay, fed by rivers such as the Ericht, Isla, Garry, Tilt, Tummel, Lyon, Earn and Almond, making it the largest in Britain carrying more water than the Thames and Severn combined. Perth and Kinross contains much of Scotland’s richest farmland, with the rolling hills leading to magnificent glens - Glenshee is one of the largest ski areas in Britain and features the country’s highest main road which climbs to over two thousand feet.

The county of Perth originally extended south and westwards to Dunblane and Callander and then up to Crainlarich and even Tyndrum, but was much reduced by local government reorganisation in 1974.

The Perth and Kinross we discover in this TRAVELTAPE, however, is fascinating and rich in history, from the Coronations at Scone to the first sparks of the Reformation. The city of Perth submitted to Cromwell’s occupation and the Jacobite risings, and was the site of famous battles, and even the murder of a monarch.

Perthshire is packed with interesting towns and villages, castles and palaces, cathedrals and churches, wildlife and nature, history and legend and this TRAVELTAPE audio guide is sponsored by quality local businesses throughout the county.
