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.
We stayed for two night in this lovely house, I couldn't recommend it high enough to do it justice. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay in this well equipped house, having gone armed with extra blankets, board games etc for the cold scottish dark nights, I needn't have bothered. The rural country setting was perfect and just what we all needed, long walks, flowing river and best of all no light pollution, pitch darkness and cloudless skies, we were all out staring up at the stars for ages.
Hi Bea,just wanted to say I had a brilliant time at cottage at the end of September,wish I could of stayed longer.Lovely cozy cottage had everything I wanted and more hope to stay again.Just great to have so many lovely walks from the cottage and Birnam is great for shops got local honey from post office,pizza takeaway from Birnam Inn and the fabulous Brownies from Little Birnam kitchen delivered to the door.
