Birnam and Dunkeld Activities Information

There are many activities on offer in the Birnam and Dunkeld area.

For those who enjoy walking in the countryside, there are many walks in the surrounding areas - from a gentle stroll along the river to something a little more invigorating - to the top of Birnam Hill perhaps. Don’t forget to walk along by the river and take a look at the Birnam Oak.

Take a look at the historic Dunkeld Cathedral and admire the beautiful views up and down the River Tay. Also in Dunkeld there are some very interesting shops with some fantastic gifts and souvenirs.
