Heart 200 Route
The Heart 200 Route is a firm contender in the competition stakes for beauty against the more popular North Coast 500 route.
It is a fairly new route of approximately 200 miles around Perth, Stirling, The Trossachs and Highland Perthshire.
The route takes you through various small, friendly towns and villages, away from the single-track roads in the North of Scotland, making it an extremely enjoyable trip. Stop off and enjoy some local delicacies in the many cafes, bakeries, butchers, local shops and of course, not to forget the many pubs and restaurants that serve amazing homemade food for all the family to enjoy.
Places to visit on the Heart 200 Route are Perth, Kinross, Gleneagles, Crieff, Stirling, Dunblane, Doune, Callander, Aberfoyle, Strathyre, Killin, Aberfeldy, Tummel Bridge, Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, and Scone Palace, to name but a few.
The many rest stops and fuelling spots, make this well-established infrastructure a must-see. Scotland’s beauty is breathtaking and this route links 2 National Parks, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and the Cairngorms.
And of course, Perthshire is also home to some of Scotland’s best Golf Courses. Gleneagles played host to the 2014 Ryder Cup, 2018 European Championship and 2019 Solheim Cup.
There is something for all family members to enjoy along the way. Go on, give it a try
