2 Bedroom Cottage in Blairgowrie
Birnie Cottage is ideally situated in the heart of Strathmore.
it is a short drive to the amenities in the village of Alyth and it is also within easy driving distance to Blairgowrie, Forfar, and Dundee, where a wide range of shopping, leisure, and cultural facilities can be enjoyed. The nearby twin burgh of Blairgowrie and Rattray is approximately six miles from the cottage (roughly ten minutes by car), providing excellent amenities for all your daily needs. Popular with anglers, walkers, and golf enthusiasts, Blairgowrie is also the starting point for the 60- mile circular Cateran Trail and it is the gateway to Glenshee, affording access to year-round sports facilities including skiing, mountain biking, abseiling, and paragliding.
This is a charming cottage and the generously sized rooms have oil fired central heating which is included in the price and wood or coal is always available for the open fire. The kitchen is well equipped and has an old fashioned theme, mindful of the original use as a gardener's cottage for nearby Birnie House, the home of the owner - willing, if available, to give advice about where to go and what to see in the area. When the cottage was overhauled in 2009, great care was taken to retain the original 1930s character.
Visitors are welcome to walk in the woods attached to the house and will become familiar with our resident red squirrels, our more timid red deer, and an amazing variety of wild birds. Various games are also available for younger visitors and activities in the surrounding area abound; enough to satisfy any age of visitor!
Dogs are also welcome but not on the beds or sofas! (Please tell us separately that you will be bringing your pet(s) because we do not charge for them so they may not appear in the guest details.)
The cottage has free wi-fi and, whilst there are security cameras which cover the perimeter of Birnie House, they do not overlook the cottage or the hedged cottage garden. Your privacy is very important to us.

Peter Pan: The Peter Pan House in Kirriemuir is the birthplace of J M Barrie who is best known for his wonderfully enchanting story of the boy who never grew up..

There is also the Neverland play park on Kirriemuir Hill.
Close to the Neverland Play Park is Kirriemuir Camera Obscura โ one of only three in Scotland โ housed in a purpose-designed turret room in the Barrie Pavilion on Kirrie Hill. It provides a fascinating glimpse of historic technology and striking views of the surrounding countryside. The narrow streets of Kirriemuir itself are lined with traditional red sandstone houses, friendly shops and galleries, interesting museums, cosy cafes and welcoming pubs, not to mention some of the best ice cream in Tayside. Here, too, you can see the statue of ACDCโs, Bon Scott, Kirrieโs very own rock son.
