Killin is perhaps most famous for the Falls of Dochart which rush right through the village, but there are also many other beautiful places to see within easy reach. The village is right in the very heart of Scotland, surrounded by high mountains and stunning scenery, and an ideal location for touring, and for walking, fishing, golfing and many other countryside activities.
Walking is one of the main activities around Killin. Within a few minutes walk of the hotel you can choose from loch-side rambles to challenging walks like Ben Lawers, one of the many Munros in the area at 3984 feet. Our en-suite bedrooms offer warm, comfortable accommodation, ideal if you're on a walking or fishing holiday!
Killin Golf Course is just a few minutes walk from the hotel and offers a challenging par 66 course.
If walking, golf or fishing are not to your liking, other activities include:
Hire of equipment for all of the above is available locally.
During the summer, Killin has much to offer, including an Agricultural Show and Highland Games (one day only, in August), plus many other independent activities.
Amongst the many historic places to visit is Finlarig Castle, built in 1609 and former seat of the Campbells. The castle has a beheading pit where The Maiden - a guillotine - was used.
The area is steeped in history: at Balquhidder, Rob Roy spent his last days; at the Pass of Killiecrankie the English were defeated by the Jacobites under Bonnie Dundee in 1689; the Highland Folk Museum at Kingussie has a Hebridean blackhouse, water-powered clack mill and lots more to see.
