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.
New for 2023 - Arrlocharia offers spacious, welcoming holiday accommodation in an great location. The perfect base for exploring Pitlochry and Highland Perthshire.
We contacted Bea at Home from Home Perthshire to book our third family visit (6 adults) for our annual golfing holiday at Ruggles Cottage on the Dunira Estate Comrie. The Cottage is superbly furnished - the kitchen is wonderfully equipped. There are two summer houses in the garden, barbecue area and a babbling brook running by. The wildlife is plentiful - deer, red squirrels and red kites. Parking facilities are available. It is close to Crieff and Loch Earn together with Comrie and St Fillans Golf clubs. We can strongly recommend Ruggles Cottage. From the Denton Family
Ruggles Cottage
Just to say we thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight in Roneval, much better now that a gate and fencing have been applied to the garden, making it really dog friendly. So much so that we have now booked for 2022. Plenty of lovely walks from the door, down to Loch Faskally and around Pitlochry, or walk to further to Loch Dunmore or up to Cuilc Brae then on to Moulin or Craigower, or if really active up to Ben Vrackie. In the other direction, through the woods to Pitlochry and the Salmon Dam, then on to Black Spout Wood. Think we only used the car a couple of times. A really good stocked co-op, very handy and a lovely Butchers. Plenty of cafes to choose from and the very dog friendly Pitlochry Golf Club. Such a lovely comfortable warm house, very relaxing looking over the hills, everything we needed was available. Fresh eggs from the house up the hill, what more could you want. With Kind Regards, Judith & Mike , not forgetting Zoe Greyhound
