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.
The house is beautiful we all said we could live their and the garden is just stunning! The pictures do not do it justice. Great location in a quiet little cul de sac with view of hills one side and mountains the other. Perfect for our visits to Braemar, Balmoral Castle, Drummond Castle even had a trip to Edinburgh. The complimentary treats were a lovely gesture on first arrival to sit in the beautiful garden with lots of different seating areas. House is well equipment from pots, pans to books and games. Pitlochry is a beautiful little village we would definitely recommend.

Auld Smiddy is an extremely charming cottage in a quiet location just minutes uphill from pitlochry with its many amenities. The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed the back yard and next door pub a lot. The cottage is very quiet. Parking wasn't hard to find nearby.
Auld Smiddy Cottage
We have enjoyed our four days here, the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The house is nice and compact with a great view of the river and hills. Plenty of wildlife to watch. We had a nice walk up Glen Tilt and also sent to Killiecrankie, both we visited 49 years ago. A nice relaxing break. Ann, Oliver and Ailsa the westie.
