Although we enjoy summer, we are starting to look forward to the beginning of autumn. Perthshire is decidedly lovely as the trees begin to take on scarlet and golden tinges in a few weeks time. Our area of Perthshire offers a number of special seasonal activities that we are eager to visit to year after year.

Visitors to Perthshire may be surprised by the sheer number of activities that Crieff offers to those of all ages and interests. Crieff is a delightful mix of the old and new. The town still retains the charm that first attracted Victorian tourists, yet at Murraypark we provide all of the modern luxurious you may fancy.

To make the most of the season, we recommend the following activities during your stay in Crieff…

Take a walk through the vivid autumnal scenery

Perthshire is known for its lush and breathtaking natural landscape. There is no better evidence for this than when the spectacular scenery comes alive in autumn. Watch the hillsides and valleys break out in crimson, vermilion, ochre, cerise, and gold before your eyes. The best way to view this magnificent change is during an easy stroll through the countryside. Walkhighlands has listed many different walks by difficulty and length.
