Wayside, opened as a self-catering cottage for the first time in 2009, is located in the heart of Scotland in rural Perthshire, in an excellent position to enjoy Perthshire's many visitor attractions, activities and glorious scenery. The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and their international airports, are around an hour away by car. The cottage is situated on the edge of a quiet country road, with excellent opportunities for a stroll to the nearby village of Pitcairngreen or on the farm. Cycling in the area is excellent and bikes can be safely stored on site.
The owner is a Blue Badge Guide which means she has first class knowledge of Scotland, places to visit and things to see and do. She will be happy to offer tailor made guided tours of Perthshire or further afield for a day, or longer, at additional cost.

| It was precisely as we had hoped - accessibility was important to us, close enough to Edinburgh to meet trains and planes - and to visit St Andrews and Gleneagles. It was very helpful to be able to book the precise days we needed, rather than having to accept a fixed start for 7 days |

| Fantastic accommodation - clean and well appointed. The weather and scenery were fantastic and having comfortable and clean accomodation topped it off. We were there for the orienteering and that was great over differing terrains over the six days. |
