Location

The Land at Morenish sits on the north side of Loch Tay possessing wonderful southerly views over the surrounding countryside and Loch Tay itself. Ben Lawers, one of Scotland’s highest Munros, rises to the north and forms part of the National Trust Nature Reserve on account of its rare plants and wildlife. The Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve encompasses over 10,000 acres of land and includes the southern and/or eastern slopes of the Ben Lawers and Tarmachan ranges. The Reserve is managed for both conservation and public access and has rich arctic-alpine flora, as well as seven Munros in all. In addition to the summits, there are many other walking opportunities, as well as a wide range

of wildlife, including red deer.


The pretty lochside village of Kenmore lies about ten miles to the east and neighbours Taymouth Castle, which is undergoing significant redevelopment by Discovery Land (). Substantial investment is flowing into both Taymouth Castle itself and the surrounding areas, as Discovery Land Co fulfil their vision of developing Taymouth Castle into one of their private residential and club communities and resorts of international renown. Both Kenmore and the village of Killin, at the western end of Loch Tay, have local facilities and a selection of independent shops, hotels and cafes. Aberfeldy (about 16 miles) is the principal local centre offering a range of essential services, including a medical centre, primary and secondary education. Increasingly, Aberfeldy is becoming known for its attractive range of independent shops, galleries and restaurants, as well as the Birks Cinema and a variety of community facilities. In addition, there are also golf courses at Aberfeldy, Strathtay, as wellas Killin. Pitlochry (about 32 miles) is home to the Festival Theatre and has a railway station with services north to Inverness and south to Edinburgh and London.


The county town of Perth can be accessed via the A9, with Stirling and the central belt of Scotland also accessible via Lochearnhead and the A85. Loch Tay is one of Scotland’s largest and most revered lochs, attracting visitors from far and wide who come to enjoy the scenery, outdoor recreational opportunities as well as fishing, sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding and swimming. Beyond Ben Lawers there are numerous other Munros within easy reach, along with many other walking, cycling and outdoor opportunities. At its heart, the surrounding area remains an agricultural district and there are many agricultural suppliers and contractors serving the local farming community. There is also one of Scotland’s largest livestock markets at Stirling.
