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

We had a lovely time in Pitlochry and the surrounding area. 22 Lagreach Brae was the ideal spot within walking distance of the town. Faskally woods were a real bonus for walking the dog. The property was very clean and comfortable, especially the beds! Lots of places to eat in Pitlochry offering excellent food and good value for money.

A very clean and extreamley comfortable house for our group of 6, in a peaceful location and yet near the centre of Pitlochry;

We enjoyed our stay in the newly renovated space in the center of town. Lots of room for our family of 4 with all the amenities we needed. Might have even looked better in real life than the pictures. Great home base to explore Pitlochry, hiking, and local sights.
