Queen Anne Victorian Perthshire home – Dun Aluinn

Its modern take on Scottish interiors puts a focus on craftsmanship and a cosy kind of simplicity

There are no twee touches or tartan curtains in Dun Aluinn (Scots Gaelic for ‘beautiful hill fort’), John Burke and Susie Whyte’s nine-bedroom holiday home in the Perthshire countryside. In fact, there are no curtains at all. ‘I think people thought we couldn’t afford them,’ laughs Susie. ‘But it’s really about bringing the landscape inside and ensuring the building doesn’t compete with the views.’ The house sits in the Tay Valley, which is overlooked by mist-shrouded mountains. It’s a place of quiet beauty and this home’s interior matches the serenity of the scenery.
