Queen's View and Loch Tummel near Pitlochry in Scotland is a must when in Perthshire and is one of the most breath-taking panoramic scenes we have enjoyed. It enjoys the deserved reputation of being the most photographed part of Scotland with its outlook across to the Tay Forest Park, Schiehallion hill and Loch Tummel. On a clear day you can see across the Glencoe Mountains.
Queen's View Scotland is named after 14th Century Queen Isabella of Scotland, the wife of King Robert the Bruce, who stopped here on her explorations. Queen Victoria visited the area in 1866 and it is often mistakenly said the scenic spot is named in her honour.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

The visitor centre has information boards detailing the history of the area and being white dove owners were impressed to see this dovecote set into their attic roof.
The postcode for your sat nav is PH15 5NR. It is four miles from Garry Bridge near the Pass of Killiecrankie along the B8019.
There is a cafe selling delicious homemade meals and hot and cold drinks. It is open from April through to October. The patio area is well frequented by birds thanks to the large trees and we couldn't resist sharing these photos of common chaffinch.
There is a large car park for which there is a small charge, though disabled visitors with a blue badge get free parking. There are toilets by the tearoom. On the way there along the path is this interesting wooden carving of a mother and baby statue.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

An army veteran moves his family back to his Aberdeenshire home, but his nightmare neighbour starts a battle of wits with him. Who will win this One Last War?

The views West across Loch Tummel will have changed since our Monarch's time because in the 1950s it was raised by 4.5 meters when a dam was built during the Hydro-Electric Power Scheme. This does not detract from its beauty though.
For nearby accommodation try the Pitlochry Hydro Hotel.
Other local tourist attractions include the Scottish Crannog Centre, Falls of Bruar, Blair Castle and Diana Grove with Hercules Garden, Atholl Country Life Museum, Rannoch Moor Train Station, Dunkeld Cathedral, Beatrix Potter Garden, Loch of Lowes Osprey, The Hermitage and Ossian's Hall and Cave.
