lenfarg village sits at the southern end of this picturesque and narrow
glen. It's sheltered position ensures that Glenfarg benefits from a mild
climate all year round, making the village an ideal base for touring.
The glen is approximately four miles long and at the northern half twists
and turns with the course of the Farg river. The railway, now closed, ran
alongside the glen and featured two tunnels within a two mile stretch - such
were the difficulties encountered by the North British Railway when it was
constructed.
lthough less than 40 minutes drive from the centre of Scotland's capital city,
Glenfarg retains its relaxed village atmosphere. The accommodation in
this pretty village is of a high standard, a perfect example of which is the
Glenfarg Hotel, a fine
Victorian Hotel (circa 1898) built to accommodate passengers on the railway
which once wound its way through this peaceful glen.
elax in Glenfarg's beautiful parks, some of the finest and most picturesque
in all Perthshire! Let the fresh air and peaceful environment put a spring
in your step before embarking on any the many local walks in the area.
ith its excellent road links, Glenfarg is ideally placed for exploring further afield. All of fascinating Fife - including St Andrews and the pretty East Neuk fishing villages - are on your doorstep and Edinburgh is just thirty minutes away.
The proximity of larger towns and cities means that it is easy to reach 
evening entertainments of all types but do not overlook the regular
entertainments laid on by hotels, inns and restaurants in the Kinross area
itself. You will be made welcome.
