Thomas Family Biking and Hiking through Perthshire

Day 1 - Monday 25^th November - Into Highland Perthshire

Your guide will pick you up in Edinburgh today. As you journey into Perthshire you’ll be greeted by tall trees and taller mountains. Weather permitting once out of the city  you may want to get straight on your bikes. The varied terrain offers both gentle rolling hills and more challenging climbs, rewarding you with sweeping vistas of the Highlands. Quiet back roads lead you through remote glens, where the only sounds are your wheels on the tarmac and the distant call of wildlife. Each route immerses you in the wild beauty of Perthshire, making the journey as invigorating as the destination. After a day well spent either hiking or biking your guide will transfer you to your home for the next three nights in luxury castle accommodation.

This morning after breakfast your expert Wilderness Scotland guide will meet to chat about options for the day. There are countless hikes in the area and he’ll choose the best one for your trip based on your experience and preference, if you prefer another day on the road bikes then the options are plentiful too.

Later in the afternoon we will give our legs a rest and enjoy a visit to a local distillery where we can learn all about the creation of this iconic malt in the picturesque town of Pitlochry. Your castle accommodation is just a stones thrown away across the river and your guide will return you there for a restful evening.
