In Perthshire you can expect dramatic Highland landscapes, immaculate colourful gardens, rich fertile farmlands, sparkling waters and air like wine. This is a haven of food and drink production. Look out for the farmers' markets and the small farms that sell their produce direct to the public and local restaurants.

There's a strong competitive spirit among Perthshire's chefs which is good news for diners. Don't miss the Perthshire Food Festival every spring when local chefs put on a special display of their culinary skills.
