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?

Guest Reviews

We had a fantastic time at Schiehallion Cottage. Great weather, great wee cottage! Favorite thing - Sitting on the new bench in the sun looking over the mountains.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We particularly loved the beautiful scenery of Queen's View and the gardens of Blair Castle, and enjoyed a hilarious production of "Blithe Spirit" at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. The cottage had a tasteful decor and was sparkling clean, with firm, comfortable beds, and of course an excellent, central but quiet location.

My wife and I have spent a wonderful week here and we recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday yet being minutes to all the lovely little shops ,pubs,cafes and restaurants. Wonderful lochside walks also on the doorstep.
