Route Heart 200

May

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.

 

Guest Review

Hello Bea, Our stay at Hollyhock Cottage was wonderful and gave us a great opportunity to relax, recharge our batteries and prepare for the run into the festive season. The cottage is beautifully appointed and was spotlessly clean. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch. We were warm and cosy throughout, despite the freezing conditions outside. It’s a lovely 15 minute walk along the river to Dunkeld which has a charm all of its own. We were delighted that so many places we visited were dog-friendly and the scenery in that area is just stunning. Fab holiday, we would love to return.

We stayed here for 2 nights to attend a wedding in the Athol Palace hotel, which is 5 mins away. The house is in a well kept tasteful estate. Great beds, Everything else worked & the views are great. Good place to stay.
