Upon arriving in Highland Perthshire from the south by road or by train, a dramatic change is noticeable in the landscape, with high mountains, deep glens and an abundance of trees.

The Highland Perthshire landscape is quite unique when compared to other Highland areas of Scotland, with its deep, flat, fertile glens supporting agriculture and thick forests. These forests contain some of the tallest trees in Britain - often referred to as the 'Big Tree Country', in publications. The high hills are often heather clad, and are snow covered throughout many of the autumn, winter and spring months.

Highland Perthshire is known for its wild life, home to a wide variety of bird life including the Golden Eagle, Osprey, Black Grouse and Capercaillie through to many smaller birds such as Dippers, Tree Creepers, Wood Peckers, etc. Mammals include Red Deer (Britain's largest animal), Roe and Fallow deer, Badgers and Red Squirrels.
