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?

Our family of 6 adults were very comfortable in this cozy cottage. Walkable to Pitlochry, great pub next door and nice little garden, we had everything we needed.

Hi Bea, Well, we thought it was a beautiful cottage in a very well placed location. Perfect for walking the dogs as you're only a short walk to the duck pond and onwards to Killiecrankie. Then when you're ready for a drink and some food it's only a 5 minute walk to the centre of Pitlochry.

This was our second visit to The Cow Shed and as soon as we arrived and looked out at the stunning views we felt relaxed. Steve and Kirsty are so welcoming and have thought of everything to make the place feel like home. It's spotless, cosy and in the best location. We visited Ben Nevis but chose to stay locally for the remainder of our stay, never wanting to go far because we couldn't wait to return to this beautiful holiday home and relax. We cannot wait to visit again
