Independent schools in Perthshire include Morrison's Academy and Ardvreck in Crieff, Glenalmond just beyond; Craigclowan on the edge of Perth and Kilgraston and Strathallan near Bridge of Earn. The surrounding hills and glens offer many walks and the opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Scottish countryside and observe the native wildlife. Close to Gleneagles are Drummond Castle Gardens, regarded as among the finest gardens in Europe. For the field sportsmen there is deer stalking, driven pheasant shooting and fishing all in the local area and Perthshire hills. As well as golf locally, Kirkonlees is about 51 miles from St Andrews, the home of golf and Carnoustie, both of which are championship courses.
