There are a range of key towns and villages in Perthshire to discover, from the bustling market-town of Blairgowrie to the picturesque Pitlochry, famed for its unique salmon ladder and Theatre, to the historical Cathedral town of Dunkeld and adjacent Birnam (home to Shakespeare's famous Wood).

With castles in Blair Athol to distilleries in Aberfeldy, Crieff and Pitlochry, plus lochs, glens, golf courses and fishing beats along the River Tay, there’s plenty of reasons to stay, relax and explore Perthshire.

Blair Atholl

The white turrets and fortress walls of Blair Castle shimmer in the summer sunshine. The grounds are luscious green, the pathways dry and well kept and the Scottish flag, the saltire, fly's high in a wind from the main turret against a blue sky

Guest Reviews

Marvellous house for groups and families. The photos do not show the extent of the garden which is huge - plenty of seating areas and places for children to play.

The Cow Shed is the best rental property we have stayed in. Everything has been thought of to make a stay perfect. The owners are so friendly and helpful. They want you to have the best stay.

The Cow Shed is a home from home, everything you need is there and that's why we live coming back. This year we were lucky enough to see the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes with their chick and red squirrels galore.
