Hot Air Balloon Flights Over Scotland from Biggar and Perth
Due to Scotland's challenging geography and perhaps less clement weather there are not many operators who offer hot air balloon rides in Scotland.
Virgin Balloon Flights offers balloon rides around Kinrosshire from locations in and around Perth. The Ochil Hills, Loch Levin, Perth or Kinross are likely views from your balloon basket during the flight.
In Perth hot air balloon rides launch from the famous North Inch park, right beside the River Tay.
Further towards central Scotland, there are balloon flights from Crieff and to the north of Perth, balloon rides from Coupar Angus.
Further south, balloon rides from Biggar launch from Sheildhill Castle and offer stunning views in all directions
