About the local area

Perthshire has so much to offer, with something to experience for all ages and interests.  Dunkeld is only four miles away and is the oldest town in Highland Perthshire. It is a cathedral town which sits on the banks of the beautiful River Tay. On the opposite bank lies the Victorian village of Birnam. They are linked by the magnificent Telford Bridge which was built in 1809. Dunkeld has a great selection of services, shops, galleries and bars.  

Birnam has a Beatrix Potter connection which is celebrated locally.  Loch of Lowes is looked after by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, two miles away from the cottage, they have reserves situated on the edge of the Loch with an observation hide with telescopes overlooking an Osprey eyrie. You could also see the Great Crested Grebe, otters, red deer and red squirrels. 

There are wonderful castles to visit from Scone Palace to Blair Atholl.  Whisky lovers will enjoy sampling some of the locally produced 'water of life' after a few distillery tours.  Dunkeld has an 18-hole golf course and many of the local villages also boast good golfing.  There is fantastic fishing available on many of the lochs and rivers – the River Tay passes through Dunkeld itself – as well as opportunities to canoe or kayak.  Perth, to the south, has a large selection of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, cinema and theatre.  Pitlochry, to the north, also has a fantastic theatre which boasts a different show every night of the week.  During the autumn Pitlochry is home to the wonderful Enchanted Forest – an open air light & sound show. 

Little Puddockwells is a lovely cottage to stay in, with a fantastic countryside location and with easy access to explore Central Scotland and in particular stunning Perthshire.  With great road links you can easily venture further afield; east into Angus and Dundee, south to Fife, Stirlingshire or north to the Highlands, Grampians.
