Summer in Perthshire - A Haven for Music Lovers!

Perth and Perthshire really comes to life in the summer months as we welcome visitors to the county.  

One of the biggest pulls to the area is the plethora of Music Festivals available throughout the summer.  Bringing together Scotland’s amazing appetite for music, food & art our Festivals are a fantastic reason to visit Perth and the surrounding area.

Whether you are into your folk music or you love a good boogie to your favourite 80s artists or you are bringing your kids to Scotland’s Famous T in the Park then Perthshire is the place for you.

Here is a selection of musical delights to come to the area this year

Solas Festival -  The Bield at Blackruthven: June 17th to 19th
Solas is a weekend long festival open to all ages in the celebration of music and the arts designed to inspire and challenge as well as entertain. Their aim is place art in its wider historical, cultural and political context, allowing visitors to experience an inclusive and tolerant space.
