Who Cares

The converted steading near Dunkeld that houses Who Cares gallery stops you dead. This is contemporary art in a proper rural setting - the kind of place where the building itself matters as much as what's inside. You'll find work that actually makes you think rather than just scroll past, and the team running it clearly gives a toss about what they're showing.

It's a small operation, which means you won't spend four hours here, but that's rather the point. Most visitors get what they need in an hour, maybe ninety minutes if you're the type to read every wall text and sit with the work for a bit. The setting appeals to walkers and artists far more than families with restless kids - there's nothing interactive, and the spaces are deliberately quiet.

What makes it work is the isolation. You're genuinely removed from the usual gallery circuit noise. The nearest substantial town is Dunkeld itself, which has its own charms, and if you're staying at Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park just down the road, it's an easy morning jaunt. Erigmore Holiday Park is equally close for a base. The surrounding Perthshire landscape is what you're really here for though - the gallery just gives you an excuse to spend time in it.

Check ahead for opening hours and whether there's an admission charge, but even if there is, it won't break the bank. Go when you've got time to breathe rather than ticking boxes.
