Sciora Cottage is a traditional cottage located in the village of Muthill in Perth and Kinross.

Offering a characterful retreat for families and friends looking to explore this scenic part of Scotland, this pet-friendly abode boasts a toasty woodburning stove.

Arrive in the village and park conveniently along the road beside the cottage before making your way through the private entrance, where the exterior hints at the heritage within.

Step inside and you are welcomed into a homely setting, beginning with the sitting room where you can settle in with a film or a good book, before lighting the woodburning stove and watching the flames flicker as the evening draws in.

Continue through to the kitchen/diner, a sociable space to gather and share meals or plan the next day’s outing, where wooden flooring and wooden countertops bring warmth and character, creating an inviting setting to prepare food using the well-equipped appliances, whether brewing a morning coffee or cooking for the group.

Upstairs, the bedrooms provide a restful base after a day of exploring, including a double and a further double.

The bathroom presents a clean and refreshing space, finished with sleek white tiles and featuring a bath where you can unwind at the end of the day.

To the rear, the garden is neatly presented with a patio area and greenery, offering a pleasant place to sit outside with a drink or enjoy a meal in the open air.

A shop rests just a short stroll away, while a pub can be reached with a brief drive, providing useful options for picking up essentials or dining out.

CRIEFF

Gleneagles 10 miles; Perth 18 miles; Stirling 22 miles.

Sitting between Perth and Crianlarich, the popular tourist town of Crieff lies on the geological fault line where the Lowlands meet the Highlands. Originally a hub for cattle drovers between the 16th and 18th centuries, Crieff expanded due to its location and as a meeting place for the cattle business to meet the demands of an increasing Lowlands population. Due to the nature of these meetings or trysts, Crieff developed into a ‘frontier town’ with its reputation for punishment by hanging spreading throughout Europe, and the remains of the gallows can be seen in Perth Museum. Most of Crieff was burned down in 1716 by Highlanders returning demoralised from the Battle of Sheriffmuir and the current town layout was conceived by James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth in 1731. Indeed it was Drummond who prevented a further burning since he was a supporter of the Jacobite Rebellion. Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army stayed in the town in 1746 and held meetings in the Drummond Arms Inn in the town centre. Drummond Castle is close to Crieff and its spectacular gardens are open to the public. Today, Crieff is a popular and bustling tourist town with many attractions, including the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and Glenturret Distillery with its Famous Grouse Experience. The leisure centre provides opportunity for swimming, squash and the gym, or head to Crieff Hydro for more activities or spa facilities. Explore the stunning scenery at Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre, or enjoy a round of golf at Crieff Golf Club or the nine hole course at nearby Comrie. Loch Earn, home to the Lochearnhead Watersports Centre and stunning scenery, is easily reached from Crieff. An inspiring tourist destination set amidst stunning Perthshire scenery.
