Dog Friendly Perthshire

The Steadings, Auchteralyth, Alyth,Perthshire

www.auchteralythsteadings.com
These dog friendly  red sandstone Scottish farm steadings were converted with great attention to detail, (under floor heating, power shower, broadband access in all the cottages and much more).

Just over one hour by car from Edinburgh, the Steadings sits on the edge of Glen Isla, high above the Vale of Strathmore. Imagine yourself sitting in the garden with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, with only the sound of a few sparrows and the water feature, staring across fertile farmlands and the Sidlaw Hills.

The owners love dogs and the garden is enclosed and safe to let them play off the lead, they also provide a list of walks in the area to guests and a wee treat on arrival for the dogs!

Dog Friendly Beaches - Loch Morlich

Inland beach wins award for third year running

One of Scotland’s best kept secrets – a beach that is 300m above sea level - has won a prestigious national award for the third year running!

Loch Morlich in the heart of Glenmore Forest Park in the Cairngorms is managed by Forestry Commission Scotland and is the first and only fresh water loch to ever have received the Rural Beach Award in Keep Scotland Beautiful’s (KSB) Seaside Award campaign.

Graeme Prest, the commission’s manager of the Inverness Ross and Skye District, said: “Having recently moved up to Inverness to take on this role I was expecting a few pleasant surprises…but never dreamed that a beach award would be one of them! Glenmore contains some of the best preserved areas of ancient Caledonian Pine Forest in the country and also offers great opportunities for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, orienteering and bird-watching, but it must be one of the few Commission sites where you can also go sailing!"

Loch Morlich is dog friendly too!


Loch Morlich is only 10km west of Aviemore. For more information visit  http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recreation.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/ScotlandHighlandGlenmoreForestParkGlenmore
