Fearnan
in Perthshire, Scotland
| Fearnan is a village on the north shore of
Loch Tay in the highlands of Perthshire Scotland. To
the west lies the town of Killin and Ben Lawers.
To the east lie the villages of Kenmore and
Fortingall, Drummond
Hill and the town of Aberfeldy. |
| Drummond hill has some fine walks through the Tay Forest park
and on top of the hill is a viewpoint looking down on the loch and surrounding
countryside. Drummond hill was where the capercaille was reintroduced into
Scotland and if you are very lucky you may see or perhaps hear one of these
extaordinary birds. You will also have a chance to glimpse
golden
eagles peregrine
falcons and, on the loch, ospreys in the summer. There is a Post Officeand the Tigh an Loan, a peaceful waterfront hotel, which serves bar lunches, suppers and dinners and has a lochside beer garden and a sun lounge from which you can see spectacular views down the loch. Also of interest is the Loch Tay Pottery, on the back road through Fearnan where Andrew Burt produces a wide range of handthrown stoneware items for domestic use and decoration.
