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.
One of my favourite places I've ever stayed. It's a beautifully designed space in a spectacular, quiet location with views and wildlife everywhere. Everything is clean and comfortable with special touches like heated floors, high quality linens, a powerful shower and a huge wood burner. Parking is right outside with easy access to the main road north and south. Such a great find!

Following a previous visit to Lettoch Cottages, we returned after Covid and life threw some curve balls at our holiday plans. Despite the 7 year absence, Steve & Kirsty welcomed us back to The Cow Shed with their usual warm hospitality. Little touches like checking in with us as they were not going to be home when we initially arrived, to ensuring we were able to still function when Storm Amy popped in were much appreciated. The views are just spectacular whatever the weather and certainly nourish the soul. The Cow Shed is well equipped, comfortable, warm and spacious and the added attraction of the squirrels, birds and deer are a welcome bonus.

We had a fantastic stay at Heather House; it is beautifully furnished and thoughtfully kitted out with everything you could need. We loved the 5* luxury towels, Egyptian cotton bedding, blankets, 55inch smart TV and beautiful Highland Soap Company toiletries. Perfect location to explore Pitlochry and Perthshire/Highlands.
