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.
Hi bea We had a great holiday at Rowan Cottage. The cottage itself was beautiful. It was so clean and tidy and easy to keep clean during our stay. It had everything we could ask for and one of the best we have stayed in. We love Perthshire for the walking, cycling and a bit of shopping and try to visit twice a year. I certainly would return to rowan cottage and would recommend your website. I have already booked my return with home from home Perthshire and looking forward to it.
Rowan Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ruggles over the New Year period. The house is very cosy in the cold Scottish winter, and plenty of logs and coal were provided so that we could keep the fire going whenever we were at home. The beds were very comfortable and the showers in both bathrooms worked very well. The kitchen was well provisioned for making meals. The location of Ruggles is stunning with some beautiful walks straight out of the front door. A particularly nice touch was the bag of monkey nuts that was provided – we put some out on the feeders opposite the front door and were almost immediately rewarded with the sight of a red squirrel coming to eat them. This was our second trip to Ruggles and we’ll almost certainly be coming again.
Ruggles Cottage
This is a clean, well and thoughtfully equipped cottage just a few minutes walk to the Main Street in Oban. The weather wasn’t brilliant so it was great to have the summerhouse to sit in with a glass of wine and feel we were outdoors.
