With viewing figures of 1.402 million it is no wonder that Outlander is so popular. 

Entering into its fourth series to be aired in September 18 filming is starting soon at a location very near to the award winning Mains of Taymouth Country Estate & Golf Course. 

Fans of the show visit where many of the scenes were filmed and we are lucky enough to be right on their door step!

When Outlander author Diana Gabaldon dreamt up the idea I’m sure she never envisaged the success and the massive boost to Scottish tourism it would bring.

Why not don that period clothing and take to the hills and discover Outlander country for yourselves?


Rannoch Moor has been described as "the largest abstract painting the world" - a walk through this unique landscape of grass, heather, peat, water and mountains is an unforgettable experience and is no wonder that Sam Heughan the lead actor has been quoted as saying Kinloch Rannoch was his favourite location.



The Majestic splendour of Doune Castle near Stirling is featured in Season 1 of Outlander. It plays a leading role as the fictional Castle Leoch which is home to the Mackenzie clan. It also featured in the 20th century episode where Claire and Frank were visiting the castle ruins.It was built as the home of Regent Albany, ‘Scotland’s uncrowned king’.  

Why not walk in the footsteps of rulers both real and fictional. Doune Castle is a popular filming location for not only Outlander but also Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Game of Thrones.

for the 

opening of the Tay Salmon Season




Monday 15th January 2018, marks the official opening of the 2018 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.


The River Tay is Scotland's longest at 119 miles and is one of the country’s five big Scottish salmon rivers.
