The nature reserves are recognised internationally for their very special habitats and for the rich variety of plants, birds, insects and other animals which they support. Walk along the beach to Tentsmuir Point and you may see hundreds of seals basking on the sandbars. Or visit Tayport Heath for beautiful wildflowers and fantastic views across the River Tay. The Eden Estuary Centre and Morton Lochs both provide wonderful opportunities to watch waterfowl from dedicated bird hides. There are many waymarked walks and cycle routes through the towering pine trees which form Tentsmuir Forest. Look for red squirrels and roe deer which live in the woodland. The National Nature Reserve is bounded by the forest on one side and the beautiful windswept coast on the other. Walk along the dune-clad beach to Tentsmuir Point and you will witness one of Scotland’s most dynamic landscapes. Swirling currents and turning tides constantly move the sand and create new shorelines and sandbars.

Perthshire

This dual-carriageway road is the main artery for traffic to the North but is only an hour from Edinburgh and makes Perthshire one of the most desirable areas of Scotland in which to live. The Annual Pitlochry arts festival gets worldwide aclaim, while the area has a wealth of History, Heritage and visitor attractions as well the scenery, waterfalls, wildlife and crafts that can be found across the Highlands. Perthshire contains many of Scotland's best country House Hotels.
