Discover the true heart of Scotland from the preserved historic village of Birnam. Situated on the banks of the River Tay, Birnam is home to the magnificent Birnam Oak the last remaining example of Birnam Wood so famous from Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Enjoy leisurely walks along the river and cross Telford’s Bridge into Dunkeld, the fort of the Celts, with its 15th century Cathedral.

Nestling amid the thickly wooded hills of Perthshire, bird watchers will wonder at ospreys, buzzards and greater spotted woodpeckers while golfers can tee off at the challenging 18 hole Dunkeld Golf Course.

Mountaineers and Munro baggers can scale the heights of Schiehallion and Ben Lawers half an hour's drive from Birnam. Fishermen can net a champion trout in the lochs and rivers a mere half a mile away, while those who enjoy more arduous river sports can try a spot of white water rafting, sailing, canoeing and kayaking all within a short distance of the apartment.
