The new driving route around the Heart of Scotland - 200 miles of roads with history, myth and adventure through majestic landscape.
The Heart200 route is from Stirling in the South to Blair Atholl in the North. About 60% of the route is in Perthshire so all our holiday cottages are perfect for starting to enjoy small bites of the route.
Highpoints of the route include Loch Leven Castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned on an island, Scone Palace where Scottish kings were crowned, Dunkeld where Macbeth's Birnam Oak still stands and the ancient Yew at Fortingall, near Aberfeldy, Europe's oldest tree
The whole route would take more than a week to enjoy. Full route guide and merchandise will be available this Summer.
We had another fantastic break at The Cow Shed. Steve and Kirsty were perfect hosts and the cottage was just how we remembered it, with everything we needed for a short break. Definitely no complaints and looking to book our next visit.
The Cow Shed
Lovely well equipped house with large lounge and outdoor seating area . Brilliant for a family get together. Walking distance to the town and for the start of the enchanted forest. Path down to the main road across the railway line . Would recommend booking this holiday home in Pitlochry.

Wow, what a stunning cottage and location! Feel very lucky to be the first to stay and write in this book. This is clearly a well-loved house which has been beautifully restored/rebuilt. We were also lucky with sunny weather and clear viewes- evenings spent on the bench outside just looking! Also enjoyed walking to Loch Bhac, climbing Schiehallion and swimming in Loch Tummel and Linn of Tummel. Would love to come again! Wildlife is amaging, in three days we spotted 46 bird species either walking from here or walking up Schiehallion or from Garry Bridge to Linn of Tummel. Also saw 4 mammals! Love the decor!
