This famous lightshow in the woods, listed in the Lonely Planet's compilation of unmissable experiences attracts 80,000 visitors over it's 5 week run each year. It takes place each Autumn in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

This is an ideal time to stay in Perthshire, with endless walks through autumn woods and misty mountains. 

Why not stay in a holiday home with a warm stove to curl up next to after a day in the Autumn air?

Guest Reviews

I wanted to write to let you know that we had a lovely relaxing stay at By the Brae in Pitlochry. The cottage was ideal for our family and equipped with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and it was situated in a great location. We will definitely return. It really was home from home.

Dear Bea, Well yet again we had a lovely two weeks in North Shore the sun shone The whole two weeks we were there as it did last year. The cottage was very comfortable and it was so good looking out on to the forest and Loch. We just love it here every thing is just on your door step. We certainly will be back next year. Kind Regards June.
