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?

Fantastic stay in a lovely area. The only downside was having to leave. We will definitely be back.

Dear Bea We had a wonderful stay at north shore cottage the furnishings and luxury bedding is a great touch , decking to sit and listen to the birds sing , our daughter & grandson hopped over to the loch for their love of paddle boarding, cottage is well maintained and as you are aware we are already booked for August . If anyone is thinking of booking this cottage do not hesitate you will not be disappointed. There’s lots of things to do visit Pitlochry dam great walk interesting for the children , Queens view amazing , killiecrankie visitors centre with the famous soldiers leap , Braemar only 1hr away a lovely place to name but a few . Your customer service is absolutely outstanding always at the end of the telephone and email keep up the good work . From The Christie’s
