Location

The neighbourhood

Nestled just outside the charming cathedral town of Dunkeld, the house enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Highland Perthshire. Surrounded by spectacular countryside, ancient woodland and the rolling hills of Scotland's Big Tree Country, it's a destination that rewards every season.

A short drive brings you to Dunkeld, one of Scotland's prettiest towns. Wander its independent shops, welcoming cafés and traditional pubs before exploring the historic Dunkeld Cathedral, set on the banks of the River Tay. The river itself is renowned for salmon fishing and scenic riverside walks, while nearby Birnam offers further woodland trails and connections to the region's rich literary heritage.
