SituationBalnacraig lies in Glen Lyon on the edge of the historical village of Fortingall, benefitting from wonderful seclusion and superb views over the River Lyon.

A major attraction of the area is the stunning scenery which includes some of Scotland’s best known beauty spots, including Glen Lyon, Kenmore and Loch Tay, Schiehallion and Ben Lawers.

Aberfeldy, the nearest main centre, provides all essential services including a selection of quality shops, a new medical centre and cottage hospital, banking, and veterinary, optical and dental practices. Pitlochry, about 22 miles away, has a railway station with a direct sleeper service to London, and the famous Festival Theatre.

In addition to schooling at the well regarded Breadalbane Academy (nursery to sixth year secondary) which has recently benefited from new facilities, there is a very good selection of renowned private schools within easy reach including Kilgraston, Strathallan, Craigclowan, Glenalmond, Morrison’s Academy and Ardvreck, all within about 40 miles.

Balnacraig enjoys all the benefits of being located in the Highlands, whilst remaining very accessible. Perth is only 39 miles away via the A9, and Edinburgh and Glasgow and their airports are all within 90 miles.

Highland Perthshire has many attractive walks and Pitlochry is on the National Cycle Path. There is salmon and trout fishing on local rivers. There are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Taymouth Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry, with the championship courses at Rosemount, Gleneagles, Carnoustie and St Andrews within a reasonable distance. For skiers, Glenshee, Aviemore and the Nevis Range are all within reach. Water sports are available at the purpose built centre at Loch Tay.

DescriptionExtending to approximately 68.5 acres, Balnacraig offers a family sized house, farmland, and excellent amenities including equestrian facilities, and salmon and trout fishing on the River Lyon.
