The Perthshire town of Dunkeld has it all when it comes to traditional Scottish rural town beauty with many places of interest, outdoor pursuits and a few good local bars and restaurants too. Some of the best salmon fishing beats on the entire River Tay are located close to this perfectly positioned historic middle Tay Valley town.

If you're bringing your family on a fishing trip to the Tay then there's also plenty of other options with many places of interest in this beautiful area of the River Tay Valley.

In addition to these attributes there's also some very good Dunkeld hotel and self catered accommodation to be found in this popular area of Perthshire. From a salmon fishing point of view the famous neighborouring salmon beats of Dunkeld House & Newtyle are very productive River Tay salmon fishing venues throughout the entire River Tay salmon fishing season which runs from mid January to mid October each year.
