The White Tower Aberfeldy, Perthshire

The White Tower of Taymouth is located in the beautiful Tay valley: it is exceptional five star holiday accommodation with an amazing roof-top hot tub. Access is by a mile long private road and sits in its own 8 acres, surrounded by the neighbouring estate.

The White Tower is situated on a sunny knoll on the south side of the valley, above nearby Taymouth Castle, close to the east end of Loch Tay and with views that will take your breath away: historic Taymouth Castle, beautiful Loch Tay, the village of Kenmore, majestic Ben Lawers, the mountains of Glen Lyon and Schiehallion and the sunsets - especially the sunsets! It’s a spectacular location with beautiful scenery for 360 degrees.

Built in about 1506, The White Tower was the look-out tower for the magnificent Taymouth Castle, home of the Marquises of Breadalbane, owners of one of the largest estates in Scotland. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stayed at the castle during their honeymoon in 1842: they were captivated! For Queen Victoria it was the start of a love affair with the Scottish Highlands that was to last a lifetime: Empress of India and Queen of the vast British Empire, the world was her oyster but her heart was to ever be in the Highlands and it all began at Taymouth.

Highland Perthshire is a simply perfect destination for a great holiday – and for superb and greatly fulfilling activity and adventure breaks. Some of the activities available close by include: golf, fishing, shooting, horse riding, sailing, water sports, white water rafting, canoeing, cycling, quad biking, hill walking, highland safaris and even gold panning - the list is endless! Kenmore, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry offer excellent shopping: from locally produced organic food to knitwear and highland tweeds. Bang in the middle of Scotland and only an hour and a half or so away from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, this area is easily reached by car or train. Highland Perthshire has something different to offer you and there's so much to see and do in such a compact area, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Bring your camera! The countryside surrounding The White Tower is a photographer’s dream, no matter the season or, indeed, the weather. Stunning spring mornings with the mist filling the valley below; long summer evenings with the sun dipping below the distant mountains; hoar frost on the trees and snow on the hills; lochs and glens, colours & shadows; an absolute joy. Kenmore, the loch and the river, as well as the castle, make wonderful backdrops and the historic and picturesque Rob Roy Way passes close to the Tower.
