  • "Location was perfect, lovely scenery and for walking, cycling and water activities."

    Cottage is a good size for a couple of family and it was amazing. Clean and comfortable, cosy with the log burner or heating on. Lots of lovely little touches in the decor and also smelled divine. The shower was great. We were very lucky with the weather so spent a good bit of time in the garden and got use of the gas bbq a few times. Such a pretty garden with lots of birds and a great view of the hill. Great place to relax after a day of walking.Really peaceful and undisturbed. Locals amemities for us were within walking distance but only a short drive. The local motel is a great place for a few drinks. Locals are friendly. Becky is really lovely and helpful and provided us with a few tips about local walks and activities. She obviously works really hard to keep the cottage so nice and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. We had the absolute best time.

Hop in the car and head North to Glencoe and Fort William, for fantastic scenery and skiing in the winter, or take a wonderful day trip to Oban or Loch Lomond; whichever you decide, you will be blown away by this part of the world.

About the location

BALQUHIDDER, PERTHSHIRE, SCOTLAND

Callander 13 miles; Stirling 24 miles; Glasgow 54 miles; Edinburgh 68 miles

The Braes of Balquhidder is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Steeped in history and legend, the Celts believed it to be a ‘thin place’ where the boundary between the spiritual world and the earthly world is minimal. Rob Roy MacGregor, the infamous 17th century outlaw who lived in and around the area, is buried in the ruins of the first Balquhidder kirk which dates from 1631. Inside the present kirk, built in 1855, is the St. Angus gravestone, an early Christian missionary who bought Christianity to the area in the 7th century. Balquhidder is a place of songs, stories, ley lines and cup stones. As a test of strength, people throughout the ages have attempted to lift a stone (94kg) onto a neolithic plinth named the Pudraic stone. This ancient ritual continues today, and the site is only a stone’s throw from here if you want to have a go. Along one of the many walks is Creag anTuirc (Boars rock), the ancient rallying place of the Clan MacLaren where once beacons were lit. Kirkton Glen is a three-hour loop along the forest track up into the hills. If you would like to explore the area whether on land or on water, mountain bikes, e-bikes, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards are available for hire from Roll Outdoors, at the entrance to the glen. A variety of eateries are nearby, including a 5-mile drive to The Broch Café in Strathyre, renowned for its Scottish breakfasts (closed January and February), or perhaphs visit Mhor 84 for a spot of lunch in the sun, or for something a little more special, head to the top of the geln for a fine dining experience to remember at Monachyle Mhor. Balquhidder is a magical, mystical setting in which to enjoy a relaxed holiday or use as a base to tour this beautiful area of Scotland.
