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 a lovely stay in Auld Smiddy Cottage. The history of the house is clearly explained and artefacts and pictures give a taste of the smiddy. The house is comfortable with everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden, relaxing to the soothing sound of the stream. The bedrooms were bright and spacious. Thank you for our stay.

Thanks so much for a fantastic weekend in your cottage. It was everything we hoped it would be. Beautiful cottage with attention to detail throughout.
Hi Bea. We had a lovely stay at the Gardener’s Cottage. A lovely bottle of wine, flowers and shortbread was a lovely touch. Absolutely perfect and only a short walk to town or the loch. Pity it rained Avery single day but that certainly didn’t ruin our stay. My wife definitely enjoyed being able to soak in the bath after our walks and the shower was great too. I met the owners on one of the days and they were a delight to chat to. We would highly recommend Gardener’s Cottage.
