From Aberfeldy, visit the stunning natural beauty of Loch Tay and the conservation village of Kenmore; the unique iron age Scottish Crannog Centre; Perthshire's highest mountain Ben Lawers at 1214 m (3984 feet); and Glen Lyon, 'the longest and loveliest glen in Scotland'. Glen Lyon stretches for 34 miles, with some of Perthshire's finest scenery.
The area also boasts the 16th century tower house Castle Menzies, and Fortingall, a village where, legend has it, Pontious Pilate, who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, was born. Fortingall is also home to the Fortingall Yew, a tree between 3000 and 5000 years old that is believed to be the oldest living thing in Europe.
In all my years of travelling around Scotland I was never aware of this information, so Pontious was a Scot!
