Summer in Killin: Highland Games, Country Shows and Highland Adventures at Killin Hotel

Nestled in the heart of Highland Perthshire, the Killin Hotel is perfectly placed for walkers and visitors looking to experience some of Scotland's most beautiful scenery and most cherished summer traditions.

While many visitors arrive to explore Loch Tay, the Falls of Dochart and nearby walking routes such as the Rob Roy Way, summer also brings a packed calendar of local events that showcase the best of Highland life.

One of the highlights of the season is the Killin Highland Games, taking place on 5 August 2026. These traditional games have been a feature of village life for generations and offer visitors the chance to experience Highland dancing, piping competitions, athletics and traditional Scottish culture in a stunning setting.

Just a few days later, the Killin Agricultural Show arrives on 15 August 2026. This popular community event celebrates rural life, farming traditions and local produce, bringing together visitors and residents for a fantastic day out.

Of course, Killin is also a wonderful base for exploring the surrounding landscape. The village sits at the western end of Loch Tay and offers easy access to a variety of walking routes, scenic viewpoints and opportunities to experience the natural beauty of Perthshire.

After a day of exploring, visitors can return to the comfort of the Killin Hotel and enjoy the warm hospitality that has welcomed travellers to the village for generations.

The hotel is currently offering a special summer package:

• £125 for two people
• Two-course dinner
• Overnight stay
