Network

The gallery sits in Dunkeld, a town that feels properly remote even though it's not far from the A9. Network is a contemporary art space - the sort of place that surprises you with what's on the walls because it doesn't announce itself loudly. When you walk in, there's usually something worth stopping for, whether it's local work or travelling exhibitions that punch above their weight for a venue this size.

It's the kind of gallery that rewards people who actually care about looking at things properly rather than ticking boxes. You're not paying silly money to shuffle through crowds. Spend an hour here if there's something on that grabs you - more if you're the type who likes talking to artists or reading every label. Less if you're not.

The surrounding area is where the real appeal lies. Dunkeld itself is handsome in an understated way, sat right on the Tay, and the nearby parks - Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park is just over three miles out, and Erigmore Holiday Park about four and a half - are well-positioned for exploring Perthshire's walking routes. Network works well as a rainy afternoon stop when you're based at either site, breaking up the day between the river paths and the countryside that makes this part of Scotland worth visiting in the first place.
