Logierait Parish Church

A modest stone church sitting quietly in the Perthshire countryside, Logierait Parish Church rewards those willing to hunt it down near Pitlochry. The building itself is straightforward - a simple kirk that's been there far longer than most of us will be - but it's the sort of place that makes sense when you're already out walking the area rather than a reason to drive miles out of your way.

The real appeal is context. If you're camping at Grandtully Station Campsite or Milton Of Fonab, you're close enough that a ramble in this direction makes sense as part of a longer circuit. The Tay Valley hereabouts is cracking for walking, and the church gives you a destination, however modest. It's the kind of spot that appeals to people who like their Scotland rural and un-fussed-over - history without the visitor centre, if you follow.

We're talking thirty minutes maximum inside, and that's being generous. The countryside around it is honestly the main draw. Faskally Woods Holiday Park is within reach if you fancy a longer day out, combining this with other walks in the area. Opening hours and admission fees aren't always advertised, so local campsite staff will know best what's possible on the day you're there.

It's not dramatic. It's not Instagram-friendly. But sometimes that's rather the point.
