This famous lightshow, 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 October in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

The Enchanted Forest has taken many accolades over its 20+ year history, including Best Cultural Event and Best Outdoor Festival. It is a breathtakingly magical and spectacular nighttime event.

This award-winning sound and light experience makes Autumn the ideal time to visit.

Pepper your short break or long vacation with daytime walks through autumn amber-red woods and mist shroudded mountains and come home from home to a hot whisky and a warm stove to curl up next to, after a day and night in the Autumn air?

Smiddy Cottage was exactly what we needed when we needed it. Everything worked perfectly. Many thanks, David

Beautiful house with privacy and space for 8 people. Only about 10 walk from centre of Pitlochry - and the option to feed the ducks on your walk. Spotlessly clean with all fully functioning appliances in the kitchen. Lovely decking area. We had 7 people staying and there was loads of space for us all. Highly recommended.

We had a super week. I loved the setting. It was a great spot especially for early morning runs and walks. We managed to get up quite a few Monros. The accommodation was lovely and pet friendly. The kitchen was well stocked and the living room a great space to chill out with the family. Excellent holiday.
