One of the great advantages of staying in Kinross is its central location. With excellent road connections, you can reach all of Scotland’s major attractions within an easy day trip. Here are our top recommendations.
Edinburgh (40 minutes)
Scotland’s capital needs little introduction. Spend a day exploring the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and the charming Old Town. Don’t miss the views from Arthur’s Seat or a wander through the beautiful Botanic Gardens.
St Andrews (45 minutes)
Famous for golf, but there’s so much more to discover. The medieval university town has beautiful beaches, fascinating ruins, independent shops, and some of the best restaurants in Fife.
Perth (20 minutes)
Scotland’s newest city is a hidden gem. Visit the excellent Perth Museum (home to the Stone of Destiny), browse the independent shops on George Street, and enjoy the riverside walks along the Tay.
Stirling (40 minutes)
Stirling Castle rivals Edinburgh for dramatic setting and historical significance. The nearby Wallace Monument and the Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre bring Scotland’s turbulent history to life.
The Trossachs (50 minutes)
Scotland’s first national park offers stunning Highland scenery within easy reach. Loch Lomond, the Duke’s Pass, and Callander are all worth a visit. The SS Sir Walter Scott steamship on Loch Katrine is a memorable experience.
Falkland (15 minutes)
