Cute Wee Town

The sort of place that rewards a wander rather than a rushed tick-off, Cute Wee Town sits just outside Erigmore with the kind of ramshackle charm that makes you wonder why you didn't find it sooner. It's genuinely small - we're talking a collection of old buildings clustered together with actual character, none of that sanitised heritage centre feel. The architecture tells you something about how people actually lived here, and there's a real sense you've stepped back without it feeling contrived.

Walkers and history types will find this worthwhile, though families with young children might exhaust the appeal fairly quickly - perhaps a solid hour if you're taking photos and poking about. The lack of commercial thrash is rather the point; you won't find a gift shop or overpriced tea room, which some will see as brilliant and others as a missed opportunity.

Its real value comes as part of a wider Perthshire stay. Both Erigmore Holiday Park and Inver Mill Farm Caravan Park sit within walking distance, making this a natural addition to a park holiday rather than a destination in itself. The location in Tayside means you're well-placed for longer explorations - it's the sort of detour that takes twenty minutes but stays with you longer than most tourist attractions manage. Free to wander, no faffing about with opening hours or admission fees. Go early morning for better light and fewer people, though honestly fewer people is rarely an issue here.
