Local Area

Dull was the site of the first seat of learning in Scotland and was where St Eonan set up a monastery in the 7th century after arriving from the religious settlement on the island of Iona. Drumdewan is Gaelic for the 'place of safety` and was at one time surrounded by 3 stone crosses.

Any fugitives who claimed the right of safety once within the boundary of the crosses were protected by the church. Cruck Cottage at Drumdewan is thought to be over 200 years old and where today you can find safety, luxury, relaxation and a place to unwind.

In 1787 Robert Burns penned his famous invitation to " Come let us spend the lichtsome days in the Birks of Aberfeldie." Visit Aberfeldy and Highland Perthshire, stay at Cruck Cottage, and experience the sensational beauty of this area. Burns would have enjoyed a stay here!!

Combine the area's charm with the thriving but gentle pace of Aberfeldy, its historic castle, water mill, distillery, the nearby 2,500 year old crannog - a fascinating picture of early Iron Age life, andat every turn, the glorious landscape of Highland Perthshire and its quite amazing adventure playround.

The Birks of Aberfeldy, a wooded den surrounding the Falls of Moness, has been maintained as a scenic walk for almost 200 years. At nearby Weem is historic Castle Menzies which dates from 1571. There is a long tradition of illicit distilling here, but the present 'legal' distillery was established in 1898, and lies just east of Aberfeldy overlooking the River Tay. Now Dewar's World of Whisky, it is a stunning interactive visitor experience.

Taymouth Castle Golf Course was designed by the famous James Braid and laid out throughout the parkland. The second course in the area, Kenmore Golf Course, was opened in 1992 on converted farmland by the banks of the Tay.
