Bungee Jump Scotland

The first time you step up to the platform, your legs might actually betray you. Bungee Jump Scotland, perched near Pitlochry, is the real deal - not some fairground ride that makes you feel brave for five seconds. You're jumping from a proper height into the Tummel Valley, and the ground does genuinely look very far away once you're up there.

This is unquestionably for the adrenaline seekers. Families with young children will find precious little to do, and if you're not prepared to hurl yourself off a platform, there's not much else on offer. Walkers and gentle sightseers can absolutely skip it. But if you're the sort who gets a genuine kick from controlled fear, who wants a story worth telling, then you'll get exactly what you came for.

The whole experience takes a couple of hours once you factor in the safety briefing and gearing up. Most visitors come on a day trip from nearby Pitlochry, which makes sense - it's close enough not to feel tacked on. Staying at one of the caravan parks in the area, particularly Milton Of Fonab just a few miles down the road, gives you a proper base for a Perthshire holiday. You could spend days walking around Faskally Woods Holiday Park's surroundings, visiting Blair Castle, then come back for the jump as your crowning achievement.

Worth doing once? Absolutely, if you're game. Worth planning your whole trip around? Only if you're genuinely desperate for the adrenaline hit.
