Highland Safaris

You don’t have to drive! Stroll down the lane to Highland Safaris. Meet some deer, enjoy a Scottish wildlife safari, hire mountain bikes, go 4 x 4 driving, or just take it easy and do some shopping and indulge in the wonderful home made food and Glen Lyon coffee.

Highland Safaris also offer a boat trip on Loch Tay from Kenmore, in their custom built boat Iolaire.

Let Fortune’s gifts at randoe flee,
They ne’er shall draw a wish frae me;
Supremely blest wi’ love and thee,
In the birks of Aberfeldy.

Will ye go, will ye go,
Bonie lassie, will ye go
To the birks of Aberfeldy!
