No. 6B Cathedral Street Dunkeld, Perthshire

This is an elegant ground floor apartment (sleeps 2) in a historic building, which is situated in the centre of the small medieval town of Dunkeld. The accommdation is superb and tastefully decorated and perfect for a couple wanting to explore Perthshire. The magnificent historic cathedral, River Tay and the National Trust for Scotland's 'Little Houses' surround it, so the views from the property are very pretty.

Dunkeld is a delightful and very attractive town with some excellent small shops (including crafts, antiques and the famous Dunkeld Smoked Salmon shop) as well as an excellent deli, greengrocer and baker. There are also plenty of excellent places to eat on the doorstep - from a 4 star hotel to the local brasserie.

If you want to hear traditional Scottish fiddle music then Dunkeld is a perfect place to stay - the world-famous fiddler Dougie Maclean lives here and frequently plays in the town. Dunkeld Cathedral has a lovely programme of music on Sunday evenings in the summer. Children will love the Beatrix Potter garden in next door Birnam - she holidayed in the area as a child.

Dunkeld has an 18 hole golf course, and there are 40 golf courses in Perthshire so you will be spoilt for choice. This is great walking, fishing and golf country. Bicycles can be hired locally. There are lots of castles and houses nearby, as well as some amazing gardens. Bird watchers will be keen to catch sight of the rare osprey which nests nearby, and tree enthusiasts will be able to visit Britain's tallest tree at the Hermitage. There is so much to see and do nearby that a week won't be long enough!
