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.
Wow, what a stunning cottage and location! Feel very lucky to be the first to stay and write in this book. This is clearly a well-loved house which has been beautifully restored/rebuilt. We were also lucky with sunny weather and clear viewes- evenings spent on the bench outside just looking! Also enjoyed walking to Loch Bhac, climbing Schiehallion and swimming in Loch Tummel and Linn of Tummel. Would love to come again! Wildlife is amaging, in three days we spotted 46 bird species either walking from here or walking up Schiehallion or from Garry Bridge to Linn of Tummel. Also saw 4 mammals! Love the decor!
It was very lovely staying here. Really enjoyed the riverbank and listening to the river at night. It let me have the best sleep I've had in a while. Will definitely stay here again when I get the chance. host is patient and friendly as were the locals. Food around here is delicious. Eden and Angel (USA)

We had a lovely stay in this well-maintained, peaceful home. The house is fairly new and offers a lot of convenience, from the ease of using the heating to the ample amenities, including a large fridge-freezer and plenty of towels for both the bathroom and kitchen. We especially appreciated the quiet location, with its close proximity to town and the shortcut through the woods via the back gate. Parking was hassle-free, and the garage was available for storing bikes, which was a nice touch once we located the keys. We would stay again!
