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? 

Guest Reviews

We found the Stables to be excellent throughout. A beautiful conversion that is comfortable and well equipped and very nicely situated. We could not fault it.

We had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a base to explore the Pitlochry and the surrounding area. Michelle

This was a fantastic place , Auld Smiddy Cottage! The five of us all give it very high marks. The location was super, walking distance to Pitlochry. However, quieter than being closer to town. All the rooms are very well appointed. We did not lack for anything, in the public rooms as well as the bedrooms. Had we stayed longer we would have taken advantage of the lovely back garden area. All in all I highly recommend this wonderful cottage.
