The new driving route around the Heart of Scotland - 200 miles of roads with history, myth and adventure through majestic landscape.
The Heart200 route is from Stirling in the South to Blair Atholl in the North. About 60% of the route is in Perthshire so all our holiday cottages are perfect for starting to enjoy small bites of the route.
Highpoints of the route include Loch Leven Castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned on an island, Scone Palace where Scottish kings were crowned, Dunkeld where Macbeth's Birnam Oak still stands and the ancient Yew at Fortingall, near Aberfeldy, Europe's oldest tree
The whole route would take more than a week to enjoy. Full route guide and merchandise will be available this Summer.
This is the most relaxing week we have had in a long time and simply sitting on the decking enjoying the views and the wildlife was a joy. Visits from the buzzards, deer and the little red squirrel only enhanced the enjoyment. We have to admit we were a little concerned regarding how we might be received by the local residents of Pitlochry and Blair Atholl, but the usual warm welcome awaited us. As ever the many cafes and restaurants were busy but well organised in terms of social distancing etc., and again the quality of service was superb.

We had a fantastic weekend stay at The Bothy. The location was stunning and secluded with amazing views across the countryside. The Bothy itself is beautifully designed (especially the kitchen/dining area!), and perfect for a short break away. Bea very helpfully sent through very clear directions as I think the Satnav would’ve had some trouble finding it. There were some lovely welcoming touches which were very much appreciated. Excellent communication from Bea throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend The Bothy to anyone looking for a calm and tranquil stay away in the Perthshire countryside.

We had a fantastic stay - a well appointed and cosy cottage in a great location. We really enjoyed walking from Birnam to Dunkeld for a drink and meal in the evening! Thanks!
