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 highest praise possible starting and ending with warm welcome from the host and polite departure conversation after 3 nights in luxury with everything we needed, provided and much appreciated extra provision of, for example, special coffee to use in the cafetiere which the host knew we'd be using daily. There was endless hot water and speedy, reliable wifi as well as quality TV watched from comfortable armchair/sofa. I could go on but the pictures on the website are absolutely realistic for people to judge for themselves!
The Cow Shed
We stayed three nights in the farmhouse and loved the quiet and beautiful property. This is a guesthouse on a large working estate and the host family was very friendly and welcoming. We came and went without issue and really enjoyed the nearby town of Dunkeld for food and groceries. The house was very nicely decorated and was really comfortable.
Great place to discover Perthshire! I recommend! Olivier
