Lovely well kept lodge! Everything you need for a weeks stay. Only thing that would have made the whole thing better would be the hot tub having a little more privacy from other lodges especially ones with security cameras.

Generations of Scottish monarchs enlarged and embellished it, and Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned here in 1542.

Doune Castle is a medieval stronghold on a wooded bend where the Ardoch Burn meets the River Teith, about 8 miles northwest of Stirling. The earliest identifiable work dates from the 13th century, but it took its present form between 1375 and 1425, when Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany and Regent of Scotland, rebuilt it.

Innerpeffray is home to Scotland's first free public lending library, a Georgian building beside the River Earn in rural Perthshire. Local people borrowed books here until 1968, and today you can still read the rare books in its collection. Highlights include a Great Bible with woodcuts by Holbein and the original Borrowers' Register, which lets you trace the families who once borrowed from the shelves.

Tip: Follow the Heritage Trail down to the river ford, but take care beside the swift-flowing water.

Sat nav: PH2 6BD

Scone Palace is a Category A-listed historic house near the village of Scone and the city of Perth. Built in red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is a fine example of Gothic Revival style. For centuries the site held the Stone of Scone, on which early Scottish kings were crowned, and Robert the Bruce was crowned here in 1306.

Tip: To follow the Stone of Destiny story further, Perth Museum displays it; tickets for that are booked through the museum's own website.

Perth Museum sits in the former Perth City Hall, an Edwardian building that once hosted markets, concerts and political conferences. At its heart is the Stone of Destiny, also known as the Stone of Scone, used to crown Scottish monarchs and still used in coronations of the UK's kings and queens. It has returned to Perthshire after more than 700 years.

Tip: The Stone of Destiny experience needs a timed ticket, which you book at the front desk, so sort this out early in your visit.

Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.
