Grandtully Campsite

The SCA campsite is at the old station yard, Grandtully near Aberfeldy. The site is just a short walk from the River Tay and canoe slalom site at Grandtully rapids.

The Campsite is suitable for individual and group bookings from outdoor enthusiasts and the proximity to the A9 means it is well connected. Nearby you can find the Inn on the Tay, Tully Bar, Legends Coffee Shop and Strathtay Stores.
