EXPLORE NEARBY

Loch Freuchie is situated in Glen Quaich, equidistant from Dunkeld, Crieff and Aberfeldy, approximately 25 minutes from each. Each of these towns offer plenty of facilities, places to eat and accommodation.


Nearby to Glen Quaich,  visit Sma' Glen. The River Almond flows through some spectacular scenery in this glen which is a photographer's dream. With historical features from as far back as Roman times, it has a bridge made for the General Wade and the reputed burial stone of Ossian, Fingal's father.


On the road to Dunkeld, take a stop to admire Rumbling Bridge.  A series of awe inspiring waterfalls cascade down the River Braan, culminating in its biggest drop, underneath a small bridge. At high waters, a rainbow can be scene hovering over the bridge.  Plenty of great walks from here and plenty of picnic room.



Two fantastic local walks are:

  1. Loch Freuchie Loop - A great days walk, whether by bike or foot. Admire the loch from many different view points both high and low on quiet paths and fire roads.

  2. Hermitage Walk, River Braan, Dunkeld - Just North of Dunkeld, take a walk through National Trust of Scotland preserved paths along the rapids of the River Braan. Admire the magnificent Waterfall of the Hermitage from the Victorian folly of Ossian's Hall. You be enough to see Salmon leaping here.
