"Mirrie Dancers" is a traditional Scottish term used to describe the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. 2024 is shaping up to be one of the best years in decades to witness the Northern Lights in Scotland! This is because the sun is reaching the Solar Maximum, the peak of its 11-year cycle, resulting in increased solar activity that enhances the auroral displays. Autumn and winter are ideal for viewing, particularly from October through March!

"Our stay at Tolsta was perfect, The house is lovely and has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the isolated location but found it was an easy walk into Killin and enjoyed the surrounding walks. The sunroom makes this property we spent most of our time in there admiring the views and watching the red squirrels in the garden."
