Kenmore, Perth and Kinross

Kenmore ( Scottish Gaelic: An Ceannmhòr ) is a small village in the Scottish Highlands. It is situated in the Unitary Authority of Perth and Kinross directly at the outlet of the River Tay from Loch Tay.

Today's Kenmore is a schedule created by the 3rd Earl of Breadalbane in the 18th century settlement, but older buildings such as the Kenmore Hotel were built in the 16th century. The Kenmore Hotel is the oldest hotel still in operation in Britain. The entire village of Kenmore is a listed building. Particularly worth seeing is the main road, which is bounded at one end of the village church, the other from the impressive entrance to Taymouth Castle. The castle dates from the early 19th century and was built by the family of Campbell of Breadalbane as headquarters. Today the building is empty. The surrounding parkland have been transformed into a private golf club.

Kenmores location between the lake and the mountains makes it a popular place for tourists. From here you can reach the valley of Glen Lyon, the mountains of Breadalbane and Schiehallion. And you can see the mountain Ben Lawers, which overlooks the surrounding heights at Loch Tay with around 1,200 m.

Near the village there is on the shore of the lake in a so-called reconstructed Crannog Crannog Centre, a house that was built for defensive reasons, an artificial island in the water. Such constructions were found until the 17th century in many Scottish lochs, Loch Tay, for example, next to Loch Awe and Loch Earn.
