Nicky-Tams, one of the oldest pubs in Stirling, opened in 1718 and was originally owned by Laird Graigengelt, the family crest of which is still visible above their doors.
Alan’s Pet Shop, Crieff
Alan’s Pet Chop is a family run specialist pet shop that is worth visiting. Lots of treats plus a walk-on scale for dogs (for when there’s been too many treats??). Knowledgeable and very helpful staff.
Atholl Arms Hotel, Dunkeld
A great lunch spot to stop on the way with one of the best beer garden in Scotland (we think!). Dogs are welcome in the lounge, Z’s Bar&Bistro but not the Riverview restaurant. They even stock dog treats for your pooches.
