Fixer-upper cottage hits the market in beautiful and famous Perthshire location

Ard Tullaich is a modest cottage in a quiet elevated setting with stunning views over Loch Tay towards Ben Lawers and Ben More, but as well as the views, it is also has some claims to fame.

Located near the small hamlet of Ardeonaig between Kenmore and Killin in Perthshire’s beautiful countryside, Ard Tullaich has not one, but two claims to fame and bags of potential.

Hamish Spencer-Nairn, of Strutt & Parker, says: “The house is in need of substantial upgrading or replacement, but there is scope to develop a glorious home with breathtaking panoramic views.

“Ard Tullaich has an association with Monty Python; just behind the house is an abandoned copper mine which doubled as Caerbannog Cave in the film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

“Visitors still come in search of the film location.”
