Crieff has always been a favourite of mine and to have this excellent excuse to drop into the town and enjoy some of their great coffee shops and galleries is just wonderful! I was particularly pleased to be all signed up and ready to go this month as the Famous Grouse Experience are hosting their Famous Feastival at the end of May. This is a tremendous event and if you get the chance you really must come along. Along with all the wonderful whiskey and some chocolate masterclasses one of my all time favourite chefs will be in attendance - Tom Kitchin.
As we' busy chatting about feasts I think its only fair to let you in on some of the other great foodie treats in the Crieff area. As well as the aforementioned Famous Grouse, you will find a host of talented, artisan producers. On the second Saturday of the month you' find them gathered in the local square selling at Crieff Country Market. This is a fabulous day out and if you are visiting is over this weekend do make sure you grab your bag and head for the town. Expect fresh local produce, crafts, baking, jams and preserves, local artisans and lots more.
And of course, you know that Crieff is home to everyone’s childhood favourite – sugar mice! Gordon and Durwards is one of the only shops we know that is guaranteed to raise a smile on even the dourest of faces! This traditional sweetie shop houses jars of sweets, handmade fudges and tablet. To be honest, the famous sugar mice are almost reason enough for a visit to Strathearn!
We will be adding to the Crieff events, restaurants and galleries as we discover them throughout the year - if you have any favourites you' like to see featured please do let us know. I' always happy to research a new coffee shop or fun event!
Best wishes, Bea
The caravan is inside The River Tilt Park, in a very strategic position to visit Blair Castle, Blair Atholl surroundings and trails in south part of Cairngorm National Park. The park is very nice, beside Tilt river, with services (take away, a well furnished beer pub with live music, convenience store) easily accessible by foot. Rosario, Italy
It was very wet when we were in Pitlochry and we were glad to we in such a warm snug house! 22, Lagreach Brae was a great place to stay and we would happily recommend it to others. It is in an ideal location not just for Pitlochry but for the surrounding area. The house is well equipped and clean our only slightly negative comment was that the kitchen window couldn’t be opened. We also found the information in the house was very helpful with regard to how everything worked, better than any other place we stayed in. If we are back in the area we would definitely stay there again.

So lucky to have found this place, we had such a relaxing week which was helped by the beautiful weather. Will be looking to book for a few days soon, so hopefully we can book this Lodge. Loved listening to the birds and the peace and quiet. David and Tricia
