We like the Fair O'Blair because it has offers good value for money if you are taking children or grandchildren out for tea. Quite often they have meal-deals which include drinks, which is helpful if you have a big, hungry family. The restaurant is a lively meeting place, especially at weekends and they also highlight special craft ales on a weekly basis. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/scotland/perth-and-kinross/the-fair-oblair-blairgowrie

Burrelton Park Inn is our local eatery. I love their fajitas and fish and chips. Their portions are hearty and good value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's a lovely place to treat yourself to tea, but best to book in advance. http://www.burreltonpark.co.uk/

Dunkeld is a beautiful, tiny Cathedral town in the heart of Perthshire. The countryside here is beautiful and you can walk along the side of the Tay to see the Birnam Oak, famous from Shakespeare's Macbeth. Or you can cross the dual carriageway to the Hermitage woodland walk.
