Heritage: The Atholl Palace Hotel, a short walk away, is set on magnificent grounds and has a small but fascinating museum; Blair Castle provides an excellent day out.-the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl houses a great display of arms and armour, as well as extensive collections of porcelain, paintings and period furniture.
Nearby Loch Faskally and Killiecrankie offer a wide variety of outdoor activities including walking, sailing, fishing, canoeing and a number of adventure sports.
Salmon Ladder: Pitlochry is famous for its hydroelectric dam and salmon ladder. The ladder was specially constructed to enable salmon to by-pass the dam and make their way upstream to Loch Faskally above. Approximately half a million visitors go to the dam and fish ladder every year, making it one of the top attractions in Scotland. The ladder is 310 metres long and consists of 34 chambers. It enables around 5,000 salmon to return to their spawning grounds each year - a journey of some 6,000 miles!
Whisky Galore: Enjoy a complimentary 'wee dram' when you book a tour with Edradour, a short walk from the house. Edradour is the smallest distillery in Scotland and is the last original 'farm' distillery in Perthshire.

This is a beautiful little cottage with lots of character and cosy atmosphere. Pat is a great host and decorated the place wonderfully for Christmas. Easy walk into town or country. Pat left nice treats for us on arrival and we found the cottage to be very warm on cold nights.

We found and stayed in this beautiful cottage whilst attending a wedding, it was warm and cosy, home from home, Our host Pat was very quick to reply to us, especially when we were staying at the cottage and needed some advice, the area is very quiet, but quite near to a lovely little town within walking distance, lots of places to eat and drink and shop and explore the area, lots of car parking if taking the car into town, we really enjoyed our stay, albeit only 3 days, but hope to return for longer next time..

We really enjoyed our time at Pat's house. Everything we needed for a comfortable holiday was there, and everything was very lovingly furnished. Thank you for allowing us to spend our time here in beautiful Pitlochry.
Loved the Scottish feel of the home. Loved being in the village neighborhood and walking to the shops and pubs. Patricia was very helpful and would recommend for sure! Thanks
Cosy and welcoming home in the Highlands of Scotland.
A really pleasant break in the picturesque town of Pitlochry. Beautiful setting with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. Great local restaurants and all within walking distance.
