Tips from the Community
When planning a visit to Pubil, a remote area in the Scottish Highlands, it's advisable to schedule your trip during the shoulder seasons—April to May or September to October. These months offer moderate weather, fewer tourists, and a reduced presence of midges, the small biting insects prevalent in the Highlands during summer. Additionally, visiting during these periods allows you to experience the vibrant spring blooms or the stunning autumn foliage, enhancing the natural beauty of the region.

Built in 1890-91 Fortingall was designed James M MacLaren and built by John McNaughton. Part of the Arts and Crafts movement and the development of Scottish vernacular architecture. McLaren was a major influence on Charles Rennie Mackintosh (see the Hill House in Helensburgh)

Tends to be quieter after the Ben Lawers Car Park and the descent to Glen Lyon is fast. However, there are some blind corners in this descent so care must be taken as you do get the odd car coming the other way. Glen Lyon is one of the best wee Glens in Scotland.

Beautiful and easily accessible waterfalls on the river Dochart as it flows into Loch Tay. The falls are clearly visible from the road bridge, but you can also climb down onto the rocks from the southern bank to get a better look. The Falls of Dochart inn at the bridge is a good pub, worth a stop for food or a drink.

Probably best known for the ancient Yew tree in the church yard Fortingall is a small village in Glen Lyon. There are some nice short runs from the village or it's a good base to explore the Tay Forest Park to the south or the large area of highland south of Schiehallion.

One of the best waterfalls to get up close to especially in the Summer months when you can sit out on the rocks and enjoy good weather. Right in the centre of Killin so easily accessible for all to see.
