It takes place each October in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

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?

Lovely, modern, clean cottage in a perfect location. We had a great stay and would definitely return.

Another most enjoyable stay at one of our favourite places to take a holiday. The Cow Shed was, once again, perfect for our needs. We love the quiet peaceful environment & the amazing views along the valley. A great base to explore Perthshire from. We enjoyed ascending Cairngorm on the mountain funicular railway (near Aviemore) for the spectacular views, followed by a journey on Strathspey Heritage railway from Aviemore to Broomhill.

There really is very little I could offer after what was a fantastic holiday. The property supplies over and above what you would normally expect in a rental property. In that sense it is the most catered for cottage we have ever stayed in in over 40 years. i.e. they give you more than enough of every day consumables. It really is home from home and the views are to die for.The hosts are really lovely and welcoming but in no way intrusive. We would love to return.
