Hi Everyone,
I was all set to comment on the Autumn weather when Perthshire decided to join in the glorious Indian Summer. It has been wonderful in our little corner of the world with bright, sunny days and shimmering rays of sun lighting up the golds, russets and reds of the changing leaves. Autumn truly is wonderful in Perthshire – our ' Tree Country' moniker comes well deserved!
Nature may be one of our strongest pulls at this time of year and you can trust the multi award-winning Enchanted Forest to take full advantage and showcase the best of what of we have to offer. For three weeks in October, this stunning event lights up Faskgally Woods and brings a little magic to Highland Perthshire. People come from all over the UK (and the world!) to see our Enchanted Forest so our season stretches all the way into November – please, please be quick if you’re looking for one of our homes!
It’s not just Pitlochry that embraces nature in these Autumn months; Crieff & Strathearn Drovers' Tryst annually celebrates the life, work and play of the people who made Crieff the cattle-droving crossroads of Scotland in the 1700s. The modern day Tryst is a walking festival that offers a wonderful programme of guided walks and a fantastic mountain biking event.
The walks are guided and range from easy to challenging and all take place among the wonderful autumn colours of Strathearn. You’ll find a host of wildlife, plants, trees, history along the way and there is a raft of enjoyable evening social events, with music, drama, film and dancing! Book into one of our Crieff properties and you’ll find yourself right in the heart of the Festival.
Talking of festivals… Perthshire Amber is Dougie McLean’s celebration of the finest of Scotland' musical talent. The festival is a decade old this year Dougie is celebrating 40 years as a touring musician! For all that has gone before, it just keeps getting better and better – if you’re a traditional music fan you really must come along and join in. The venues they use range from the splendour of Dunkeld Cathedral to town halls and tiny village halls – I have it good authority that there are twenty-five venues in total in 2014!
There you go, I started with a sunshine filled morning and somehow I’ve managed to chat on about the best of Perthshire in October… I’m all booked up for all three events (in fact I have several tickets for various wee events throughout!) so perhaps I’ll see you there! Do come over and say hello if you spot me dancing or gazing up at trees!

The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. Great for the two dogs. Went lots of walks and the weather was kind to us as well. Beds were so comfy, had a great sleep.
Schiehallion Cottage
Wonderful stay in this charming bothy. Feels very cosy and had everything you could wish for to make a welcoming comfortable stay. The setting is beautiful, we were surrounded by red deer in the evenings and had great views of the stars in the dark sky. Great location for day trips around the Cairngorms.
Orchilmore Bothy
A fantastic place to stay. The location is very well connected via the A9 but secluded enough to feel peaceful. The sun room dining area is particularly nice for eating as group in the evening watching the sunset.
