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.

Brief two days in this very comfy house in an excellent location. Amazing walks, fantastic weather we enjoyed an evening at Pitlochry Festival Theatre- well worth a visit. Edinburgh walking girls.

What a beautiful cottage. Everything was as described. About a 12 minute walk into the centre of Pitlochry which was absolutely fine, uphill on the way back though! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if available when needed. Thanks for letting us stay.

We had a fabulous week in Roneval. A super house and well equipped with everything you'd need. The house is in the perfect location for walking into the centre as well as many other places. We were really lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outdoors. We certainly hope to return.
