Family escapes
Throughout July and August, we provide a programme of activity holidays for families and individuals. With panoramic views of Loch Tay and the Ben Lawers mountain range, Firbush is situated in six acres of woodland on the lochside, three miles from the village of Killin in Perthshire. With direct access to the loch and surrounding mountains, our summer programme offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, as well as the opportunity to relax and unwind in this beautiful location.
Activity options:
- Kayaking
- Canoeing
- Paddleboarding
- Sailing
- Windsurfing
- Mountain biking
- Hillwalking
Our summer programme is open to everybody with outdoor activities organised each morning and afternoon. Every effort is made to build the activities around the needs of adults and children alike, with opportunities for families to engage in parallel activities. There’s always a choice of instructor-led activities where you will be guided and supervised. For sailing and paddle sports full safety cover is provided. Firbush is also located on bike route 7, and there are plenty of opportunities nearby for cycling on local trails. Residents can dip in and out of activities as they wish and Firbush staff can advise on local sightseeing opportunities.
