Drummond Castle Grounds
The castle itself is a private residence and not open to the public, but the grounds offer magnificent views of the building and the surrounding countryside. The formal, Italianate-style gardens were first laid out in the 17th century and redesigned in the 19th century. The gardens have also served as a filming location for movies like Rob Roy and the TV series Outlander, where they stood in for the Palace of Versailles.
Falls of Dochart
Stunning waterfalls, best viewed from the ancient bridge dating back to 1760.
Falls of Dochart Inn
The restaurant serves hearty, authentic Scottish food, sourcing local produce like venison and their own smoked salmon.
Falls of Dochart Smokehouse
The on-site smokehouse produces items like whisky-smoked salmon and unique enthused gins.
