Lots to Do

Glenturret Distillery, Scotland’s oldest working distillery, is just 2 miles away and well worth a visit to sample its award-winning malt whisky or enjoy the Michelin-starred Glenturret Lalique Restaurant which offers a dynamic selection of eclectic seasonal dishes and Bar Lunches. www.theglenturret.com

For golfers there are 20 courses within a 15-mile radius.  Crieff is the closest with challenging, and very scenic, 9 (The Dornock) and 18 (Ferntower) hole courses.  It also has an excellent Clubhouse with a good menu.  The famous Gleneagles, of Ryder Cup fame, is just 12 miles away and another favourite is the 9 hole course at St Fillans which was voted Scotland’s best 9 hole course from 2019 to 2022 and shortlisted in 2023 – a favourite of the great Sandy Lyle.

Given the rural location of the cottage in picturesque Strathearn there is a variety of interesting walks (for all levels of walkers) in the immediate area to soak up the natural beauty of the region.  There are also opportunities for loch and river fishing, mountain biking and water sports at Loch Earn (8 miles west on the A85).

Crieff is 2 miles to the East on the A85 and Comrie is 3 miles to the West on the same road.  Further afield, but with easy driving distance, you have Aberfeldy, Pitlochry, Dunkeld, Blairgowrie, Glencoe, St Andrews, Perth and Stirling.  Edinburgh and Glasgow are both an hour’s drive away.
