Perth

Things to do in Perth

Just over an hour’s drive from your Loch Lomond Waterfront accommodation, you’ll find the historic city of Perth. A perfect day trip from Loch Lomond! Perth was the capital of Scotland until the 15th century and has many fascinating attractions and things to do.

Castles and Palaces

With its royal connections, there is no shortage of castles and palaces around Perth. Scone Palace, to the north of the city centre, is one of the most famous palaces in Scotland. Scone (pronounced “Scoon”) was once the crowning-place of the Kings of Scots and home to the Stone of Destiny. Then there’s Huntingtontower Castle, a 15th-century house, which once hosted Mary Queen of Scots, while on honeymoon with Lord Darnley. Also Elcho Castle, another lordly house, built for the wealthy Wemyss family in 1560. One of the best surviving tower houses in Scotland.

Museums and Galleries

The Black Watch Castle and Museum is one of the top museums in Perth. It tells the fascinating story of The Black Watch, a Highland regiment which has played an important part in Scottish military history since its formation in 1739. To discover Perth’s local history, art and nature, we also recommend a trip to Perth Museum and Art Gallery, Its changing programme of temporary exhibitions means there is always something new to see. Art lovers will also enjoy visiting The Fergusson Gallery, named after Scottish artist and sculptor, John Duncan Fergusson. This gallery holds his vast collection of art work, along with the archive of his wife Margaret Morris, a dancer and painter.

Parks and Walks

There are lots of wonderful green spaces in Perth, perfect for walking and relaxing. Walk up Kinnoull Hill for stunning views over the city and beyond. Discover a peaceful haven of plants and trees at Branklyn Garden. Or, enjoy a stroll along the River Tay in South Inch Park.

At the end of the day, you’re just a drive away from your lovely Loch Lomond lodge. Where you can relax in the hot tub up after a busy day in picturesque Perth.

Testimonials

  • Outstanding

    'Chef in a lodge was outstanding. The food was excellent as was the service. Superb evening.'

  • 40th celebration

    'My husband and I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and we truly had a magnificent time. There was everything that you needed in your accommodation even washing liquid and conditioner for the washing machine. The hot tub and steam room were a real highlight as well as the living log fire.'

  • A perfect place to relax

    'Stayed at the Waterfront Lodges for a Fri to Mon short break for our daughters birthday last weekend. Lodge was placed right on the edge of Loch Lomond with stunning views.'

  • A magical getaway

    'It is not at all a surprise that you are fully booked.  If there is one place in the world we would like to be this summer, that place is Loch Lomond Waterfront Lodges, and I’m sure the only people who don’t share this passion are those, who simply have never been there. What a magical getaway and a retreat you have created! Thank you for that.'

  • Outstanding location

    'The location is outstanding - right on the edge of Loch Lomond with private water frontage and beaches. As a location for exploring, again this rates very highly. We easily accessed central Glasgow by train from nearby Balloch and also explored Stirling (particularly the castle and Wallace memorial), the Falkirk Wheel and even Perth and Pitlochry by car. It is a very peaceful place, which can only be disturbed on occasion by your neighbours but with the Slumber Charter in place, we had absolutely no problems overnight.'
