Spring Break 

Imagine  a small unspoiled picturesque story book village in the heart of Highland Perthshire - Think Kenmore!


 For those of you who have not visited Kenmore you don't know what you are missing. Arriving from Aberfeldy just a short 6 miles away driving down the brae you get your first stunning glimpse of Loch Tay in front of you and Taymouth Castle to the left. Look to the distance and see the mighty summits Ben Lawers and its satellite Munros in the distance. Perfect for any Munro bagger!

It is extraordinarily beautiful ask anyone!!!! Many people visit for the first time and cannot believe such a wee place is hidden away within an hour and a half of Scotland's major cities.

Kenmore hosts the end of the River Tay and the beginning of Loch Tay it is your perfect get away. The River Tay is Scotland's longest at 119 miles and is one of the country’s five big Scottish salmon rivers and attracts a vast number of fisherman to the area.


Within the village itself you will find the heart of Kenmore is "The Square", a street lined with attractive mainly black and white buildings. The most imposing of these is the Kenmore Hotel.  On the opposite side there is the village shop and post office. The eastern end of The Square is dominated by the elaborate stone gateway leading to the estate of Taymouth Castle and the beautiful parish church stands at the west end of the square.

Whilst discovering Kenmore why not stay at the award winning Mains of Taymouth Country Estate & Golf Course and choose from one of our 42 luxury properties. Many equipped with log fires, saunas and hot tubs, the perfect way to relax. 


With so much to do you will really be spoilt for choice! With so many activities to do for all ages it can be a real family occasion.

Cruise highlights will include The Crannog, The Abandoned Village of Lawyers, Queen Sybilla's Island, The Loch Tay Fault Line and The Loch Tay Kelpie.

Tuesday 15th January 2019, marks the official opening of the 2019 River Tay salmon fishing season.  

Anglers from all over Scotland will gather in anticipation to secure the prized largest catch. The traditional opening of the salmon season on the River Tay has been held at Kenmore since 1947.


Why not join the anglers in a parade down to the river bank accompanied by the Vale of Atholl Junior Pipe Band  and be part of this historic Highland Perthshire event. Enjoy a dram from Dewar's World of Whisky to toast the blessing of the water for the new season. After that 'tight lines' will be declared and the first cast of the day will begin.


If you enjoy fishing why not take part? Salmon fishing permits are available from The Kenmore Hotel on the day. You may win the coveted prize of the largest salmon caught that day. Take a photo of your catch, then measure its length and girth (from the front of the dorsal fin) ensure a witness is on hand and call the Kenmore Hotel with your results! All salmon caught before April must be returned to the river.
