GENERAL
Little Narnia is located in the pretty village of Dunkeld
in Highland Perthshire. Dunkeld is one of the best
preserved and historic villages in Scotland and is located
in the heart of Perthshire’s Big Tree Country. It is a popular
location with many amenities including a selection of
coffee shops, restaurants, gift and retail shops with a lively
arts, music scene and galleries. There is a convenience
supermarket, post office, doctors surgery and primary
school. The majestic Cathedral located by a stunning
riverside location, with origins from the 12th century is still
the parish church and is host to concerts throughout the
year.
The area offers many interesting walks with the local
countryside offering a wonderful array of vibrancy during
the seasons. The area is said to have been the inspiration
for the tale of Peter Rabbit during Beatrix Potter’s many
countryside walks during her holidays to the area when
she stayed at Eastwood House. There is plenty to keep
wildlife enthusiasts busy with the local woodlands being
home to the red squirrel. Otters, dippers and wagtails
can be seen along the riverside and salmon can be
seen leaping at The Hermitage, Pitlochry Dam & Salmon
Ladder, Soldiers Leap at Killiecrankie and the Linn of
Tummel. Higher up the mountains are home to red deer,
golden eagles, red grouse and merlin as well as the
osprey migrating from western Africa to Scotland each
Spring.
Loch of the Lowes near Dunkeld is a designated wildlife
reserve and home to a pair of breeding ospreys, red
squirrels, otters and beavers. Up to 3,000 migrant greylag
geese roost on the loch and goldeneyes, mallards,
goosanders, wigeons, teals, tufted ducks and great
crested grebes can also be seen.
