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?

Dear Bea and team Many thanks for your email and yes we enjoyed our second stay at By the Brae. It is a really peaceful and quiet location yet within easy walking distance of the town and walks around Pitlochry. It is well equipped, beds are comfortable, easy to warm up and and there was the welcome addition of wi fi!

Wonderful cottage. Location is quite and the back yard is a wonderful space. The cottage was cool during the heatwave. Easy to walk or get the bus into Pitlochry. Inn next door has good pub food. Parking was always available. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.
