Overview of Perth and Kinross

The former counties of Perth and Kinross combine to form this largely rural region which straddles the boundary between the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland. It stretches from the famous trout-fishing waters of Loch Leven in the south to the Grampian Mountains beyond Blair Atholl in the north, and from Loch Tay in the West to the Lomond Hills in the east. Watered by the Tay, Earn, Tummel, Garry and Isla rivers, its leading towns are Perth, Crieff, Coupar Angus, Blairgowrie, Auchterarder, Comrie, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Kinross.
