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.
The 4 of us had a lovely stay in Bracklin. Perfect location for playing in the Pitlochry Ladies Highland Open. Very spacious, homely holiday house. The best !

Our third visit to Lettoch Beag was as satisfying as always. Lovely accommodation and warm hospitality from Kirsty and Steve. We went to an event at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre Winter Words Festival. We’ve always loved going there but Alan Cumming’s programming and involvement is transforming the place.

There were a few unexpected highlights. The Highland Night at the recreation ground on Monday nights was a surprise for us. A Pipeband, dancers and entertainment for toe-tapping and clapping (an outside entertainment so dogs welcome). We also discovered Menzies Castle near Aberfeldy. A very authentic and unspoiled piece of Scottish history.
