With its great forests and extensive woodlands, this beautiful area offers some of the finest scenery in the Highlands. And it’s yours to enjoy from one of our holiday cottages in Perthshire and Kinross-shire.Sitting on the banks of the River Tay, Perth was once the capital of Scotland and is now a bustling town with a wide range of shops and restaurants. The ancient Scone Palace, where the Scottish Kings were once crowned, is nearby. Pitlochry, set amongst forested hills, is a popular destination here. It has its own festival theatre and the nearby hydro-electric power station is open for visitors. Blair Castle is also within easy reach of our holiday cottages in Perthshire and Kinross-shire. Typically Scottish and with antler-filled walls, it offers a unique insight into the traditional life of the Highland aristocracy. Walkers should head to Killecrankie, where some wonderful forest trails await you, or to the peace of Loch Leven, now a nature reserve. The charming village of Dunkeld is also well worth a visit. This was the location for Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit stories and features the ruins of a 14th century cathedral, set on lawns beside the Tay.
