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.
This was our second visit to The Cow Shed and as soon as we arrived and looked out at the stunning views we felt relaxed. Steve and Kirsty are so welcoming and have thought of everything to make the place feel like home. It's spotless, cosy and in the best location. We visited Ben Nevis but chose to stay locally for the remainder of our stay, never wanting to go far because we couldn't wait to return to this beautiful holiday home and relax. We cannot wait to visit again
The Cow Shed
We loved our visit to this cosy, clean and well appointed luxury apartment in the heart of Birnam. It was easy to walk into Dunkeld where there are plenty of cafés and shops or stroll along the river and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing break with every home comfort and would definitely return at any time of the year.

Dear Bea, we had a wonderful time in Perthshire. Ruggles cottage was quirky, in a great location and had everything we needed. It was well equipped and the garden and summer house by the stream was an extra bonus. We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the forest walks on our doorstep.
