If you’re seeking something more adrenalin-fuelled, take on white water rafting, paintballing, and river adventure trips with Splash White Water Rafting. There is something for everyone here with stunning scenery, relaxing gardens and historic towns at this delightful cottage in Perthshire.

The 16th-century town of Kenmore is located at the eastern extremity of Loch Tay, where the River Tay emerges from the loch. The village, which was initially built on the north side of the river, was relocated in the middle of the sixteenth century to make room for a castle being constructed on the north shore. The village was rebuilt, and as a result, received its current name, Kenmore, which means "big head" in Gaelic. Loch Tay, with its abundance of opportunities for watersports, fishing, hillwalking, and cycling, is what makes Kenmore such a well-liked tourist destination today. Visit the Scottish Crannog Center to see a recreated thatched cottage on stilts and learn about an ancient way of living. These dwellings, which were constructed on the loch and protected from danger by a retractable gangway, offer a fascinating look into past civilizations. The community has shops, a few hotels, and a restaurant, and the tourist is well-served by the adjacent charming towns of Aberfeldy, Pitlochry, and Dunkeld. The region is well known for its genuinely breathtaking landscape, and Kenmore can offer a lovely backdrop to a very relaxing holiday whether you are on the water, in the hills, or in the shops.
