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 really enjoyed our holiday in North Shore the cottage was lovely very comfortable to be in. The patio just outside was really nice to sit on, we did enjoy that we were so near the woods and Loch. We will definitely be back next year.

Dear Bea, We had a fantastic stay at Gardeners Cottage. When we arrived at Pitlochry we were quite exhausted. But opening the door our holidays started, a fire was burning in the stove, on the table there were nice little tulips and the red wine was all I needed to relax. This was a great welcome. I enjoyed watching the birds having their breakfast while we had ours. The Cottage is equipped with everything we needed. We hope we can book with you again, when we are in Perthshire again.
