SITUATION
The Herons enjoys a most private and secluded position on the north eastern edge of the historic cathedral village of Dunkeld in the county of Perthshire.

Lying on the banks of the River Tay, Dunkeld enjoys a highly scenic setting in rural Perthshire, yet with excellent transport links with the A9 nearby giving swift access north and south and a railway station with regular daily services including the sleeper service to London.

The city of Perth is about 15 miles south via the A9 with an extensive range of amenities including national retailers, concert hall, theatre, swimming pool, banks, bus and railway stations, as well as the renowned Perth Racecourse at Scone Palace. Edinburgh and Glasgow can both be reached in just over an hour’s car journey with their international airports and vibrant city amenities.

Dunkeld is at the entrance to the Highlands and has access to the wonderful countryside Perthshire has to offer. Perthshire is renowned for its wealth of recreational opportunities on its doorstep. The surrounding hills and glens offer many walking and mountain biking routes whilst winter sports can be enjoyed at Glenshee Ski Centre which lies about an hour’s journey north.
