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?

We had an absolutely amazing time in Perthshire. The accommodation was superb and every need had been thought of and provided. Steve and Kirsty were brilliant hosts even to point of driving us down to the local restaurant for our 1st anniversary dinner. To be perfectly honest I can not think of how our stay at the Cow Shed 2 could have been improved. We certainly hope to return in the future.

Quiet yet very convenient location. House was spotless. Beds very comfortable. Hope to return. Easy walk into Pitlochry. Lovely walks round Loch Faskally from the cottage.
