There are a range of key towns and villages in Perthshire to discover, from the bustling market-town of Blairgowrie to the picturesque Pitlochry, famed for its unique salmon ladder and Theatre, to the historical Cathedral town of Dunkeld and adjacent Birnam (home to Shakespeare's famous Wood).

With castles in Blair Athol to distilleries in Aberfeldy, Crieff and Pitlochry, plus lochs, glens, golf courses and fishing beats along the River Tay, there’s plenty of reasons to stay, relax and explore Perthshire.

The white turrets and fortress walls of Blair Castle shimmer in the summer sunshine. The grounds are luscious green, the pathways dry and well kept and the Scottish flag, the saltire, fly's high in a wind from the main turret against a blue sky

Guest Reviews

Hi Bea & the team, We really enjoyed the holiday, so much so that we have booked it again for next year, as you will know. The set up was great for us and our friends and their dogs.


October 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay at Schiehallion cottage. The house is extremely comfortable and spacious , spotlessly clean and well equipped. It does have a true ‘true home from home’ feeling. We loved relaxing in the sun room and though the weather was warm enough not to need the heating function, the warm fire effect made the lounge very cosy in the evening.

This was our 4th visit to the Auld Smiddy. We love the location of the cottage and the cottage itself is excellent. Being next door to the Moulin Inn is ideal. The cottage is easy walking distance to the town of Pitlochry too. We have 2 small dogs and the layout of the house and the fully enclosed garden and decking area are perfect for the dogs. There was nothing nicer than sitting in the Dining Area with the door open listening to the birds and the little stream running behind the garden. So relaxing! There are so many lovely walks to do from the cottage. Perthshire has so much to offer. We definitely would love to return.
