Cottage in Perth and Kinross

About this property

Stretching for 32 miles, Glen Lyon was described by Sir Walter Scott as the longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland.' A lyrical landscape of hills, waterfalls, rivers, gorges and pools, it is little known and seldom visited. Running from the pretty Arts and Crafts village of Fortingall (21 miles) in the east to the head of Loch Lyon in the west, idyllic memories of this place will remain with you, your friends or your family forever. Tour Dewars Distillery in Aberfeldy (30 miles), discover the reconstructed Bronze Age Crannog at Kenmore (26 miles) and explore Ben Lawers National Park (23 miles) for spectacular Loch Tay vistas and the highest mountain in the Southern Highlands. Spot brown hares, stoats and pine martens, and perhaps a golden eagle. Inside you'll find an interior lovingly furnished with care and attention. After wild days of exploration, scintillating scenery and nature spotting, gather with a whisky in the evening around the glowing wood burner, to reminisce or plan your next foray into the wilderness. Prepare sumptuous suppers from unsurpassed local produce in the bright and breezy kitchen, to savour in the lounge/diner or outside. Melt away modern stresses in the divine bathroom before escaping to your dreamy bedrooms on the first floor; the river and glen views from the delightful doubles are unrivalled. Outside, enjoy al fresco feasts on the patio or wander the lawn with a tinkling whisky as the river gurgles away and the sun sets on another great day in paradise. Be amongst the blessed few who can say they fished a wild Scottish river from the bottom of their garden with a glorious green glen beyond.
