If all your past holidays seem to have blurred into one, why not mix things up this year with something slightly more adventurous?

Follow ancient footsteps through Glen Eagles

WHEN driving down scenic Glen Eagles between Glendevon and the A9, few people realise that there is an even more attractive way down the other side of the glen. The A823 is a relatively modern route, originally built as a turnpike road in the 1810s, with a Toll House half way down to collect dues. The older route through the glen, trod by early Christians and drovers, is the grassy track down the west side.

A VISIT to Inchmahome in the Lake of Menteith has an ideal mix of ingredients for a summer outing - a boat trip to an island with historic ruins and veteran trees, set in a beautiful and tranquil landscape. What's more, it's less than an hour's drive from Perth.
