Perthshire, Scotland
View Map

While Perthshire is has many small towns that are well known tourist destinations there are many more less known villages with wonderful stories and landscapes, ideal for the visitor looking for the less beaten track. 

Stanley was built in the 1780's to house the workers at Stanley Mills, now a museum to the industrial revolution. 

Places to eat 

In the heart of stanley itself is modern restaurant Blasta, restaurant owner and head chef David Barnett has a wealth of experience and before opening his own restaurant and take away in Stanley, he was once the executive chef of Fonab Castle Hotel. 

A short distance away from stanley is Usiage bar and restaurant, with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere and offering both indoor and outdoor seating for dining or cocktails.  

Don't Miss; Fortingall

Fortingall is home to the Fortingall Yew, thoe oldest tree in Europe, and a tragic story of a villagle that died to save others fromthe Plague. It is also home the the annual Fortingall Art Exhibition which we highly recommend if you are visiting at the end of July.

The Bank is just as it looks in the photos - a beautiful place to stay. Super clean with everything you could ever need and more. It is in an excellent position for walking and exploring a large area of stunning countryside. Comfortable and spacious with top end fixtures and fittings. We would not hesitate in recommending it for a completely stress-free holiday.

Lovely stay - well equipped and functional cottage, that suited our group of 6 adults. Convenient for Pitlochry and great to have the Moulin Arms on the doorstep.

Hi Folks North Shore is a great place for a holiday. The accommodation is exactly as described and the location relative to Pitlochry is brilliant. The gate access from the garden into forest & loch side-walks is perfect, If you are a dog owner this is worth its weight in gold. Easy to go for a long walk without having to get into the car around beautiful loch side paths. Would thoroughly recommend and will hopefully be back soon ?
