This famous lightshow in the woods, listed in the Lonely Planet's compilation of unmissable experiences attracts 80,000 visitors over it's 5 week run each year. It takes place each Autumn in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

This is an ideal time to stay in Perthshire, with endless walks through autumn woods and misty mountains. 

Why not stay in a holiday home with a warm stove to curl up next to after a day in the Autumn air?

We really enjoyed our break at Gardeners cottage. It was so warm and cosy and just perfect for us. The wood burner was an added bonus as we don't have one at home! The cottage was in a great location for all walks and restaurants. Pitlochry is beautiful all year round but especially in Autumn. Kenny and Rita were lovely hosts and on hand for any queries but not at all intrusive. We would definitely return!

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location which is very quiet but benefits from being within walking distance of all the local shops and restaurants. The property was spotless clean and very comfortable Highly recommend.

A beautiful cottage. Clean and tidy. Perfect location for exploring the area with or without the car. Everything we needed for an excellent holiday, the best we`ve stayed in. Scone Palace, House of Bruar, Ben vrakie, Queens view, Prince Alberts Cairn just a few of the places to visit within easy reach. Mckays hotel excellent for food.
