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.

We had a lovely weekend at No.1 the Bank. The flat is lovely and 2 of us were originally from the area and remembering using it as a bank. The location was brilliant with MacDonald the butchers across the road for hot rolls in the morning. The facilities in the flat itself was spot on.Loved the way it was decorated. Comfortable sofas in the living area. The beds were really comfortable and the bedding fabulous. The shower was also brilliant and nice and hot. On our next trip to Pitlochry we will definitely be looking to stay at No.1 the Bank again. Just perfect as far are we were all concerned.

We loved staying here! The house is spacious and well equipped with an excellent shower. We had great weather so were able to get out in the hills and enjoy walks from the bungalow. Lovely garden and the most beautiful views. Thank you, Julie & Phil.
