Perthshire, Scotland
View Map

While Perthshire is has many small towns that are well known tourist destinations there are many more less known villages with wonderful stories and landscapes, ideal for the visitor looking for the less beaten track. 

Stanley was built in the 1780's to house the workers at Stanley Mills, now a museum to the industrial revolution. 

Places to eat 

In the heart of stanley itself is modern restaurant Blasta, restaurant owner and head chef David Barnett has a wealth of experience and before opening his own restaurant and take away in Stanley, he was once the executive chef of Fonab Castle Hotel. 

A short distance away from stanley is Usiage bar and restaurant, with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere and offering both indoor and outdoor seating for dining or cocktails.  

Don't Miss; Fortingall

Fortingall is home to the Fortingall Yew, thoe oldest tree in Europe, and a tragic story of a villagle that died to save others fromthe Plague. It is also home the the annual Fortingall Art Exhibition which we highly recommend if you are visiting at the end of July.

Guest Reviews

Roaring stove to keep us warm, leaving the front door and being immediately in the outdoors and forest, easy (5min) drive to Comrie with all its amenities, lovely deli and bakery.

The peace and quiet and the view. Fantastic!

There really is very little I could offer after what was a fantastic holiday. The property supplies over and above what you would normally expect in a rental property. In that sense it is the most catered for cottage we have ever stayed in in over 40 years. i.e. they give you more than enough of every day consumables. It really is home from home and the views are to die for.The hosts are really lovely and welcoming but in no way intrusive. We would love to return.
