River Ericht between Blairgowrie and Rattray

Home Page

History, leisure, sport plus great food and drink can all be found in one of Scotland’s most picturesque spots.

Farview Cottage - sometimes referred to as Fairview in old documents - is so-called after its picturesque garden and view of the Sidlaws. It has the feel of the countryside and yet is within walking distance of shops, pubs and the River Ericht.

Mature gardens - fenced off from the private car park - make the cottage ideal for young children. The area has recently been relandscaped to increase the eating out/ bbq area.
