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.

Guest Reviews

The Cow Shed 2 is our go to holiday cottage, and any others we visit we measure against It, and nothing measures up! It’s perfect, it’s got everything you could need, it’s spotless, comfortable and setting is absolutely beautiful. The hosts Steve and Kirsty are a lovely couple, they are so invested in their guests having the best experience, nothing is too much trouble, and they go the extra mile (or several) to ensure everything is spot on! We love it and will return at least annually. Alastair and John

This was our 4th visit to the Auld Smiddy. We love the location of the cottage and the cottage itself is excellent. Being next door to the Moulin Inn is ideal. The cottage is easy walking distance to the town of Pitlochry too. We have 2 small dogs and the layout of the house and the fully enclosed garden and decking area are perfect for the dogs. There was nothing nicer than sitting in the Dining Area with the door open listening to the birds and the little stream running behind the garden. So relaxing! There are so many lovely walks to do from the cottage. Perthshire has so much to offer. We definitely would love to return.

We have just returned after a wonderful week staying at The Stables in Killiecrankie. It is a lovely place - really high spec with everything you might need and so comfortable. As others have mentioned it is much bigger than it appears in the photos. Thanks for the booking.
