  • Glampsite with spectacular mountain views near Blairgowrie, Perthshire
  • A 20-minute drive to Glenshee Ski Centre in Cairngorms National Park
  • Insulated accommodation pods; heated communal bothy with full kitchen
With spectacular Perthshire views to the peak of Schiehallion and snug-as-a-bug, cosy accommodation, you should certainly be in for a splendid stay at Glenshee Glamping near Blairgowrie. Run as a sustainable site for many years, it beckons guests looking for a peaceful stay in a gorgeous corner of Scotland as well as a comfy base for outdoor adventures. And what about amenities? Spick-and-span showers are all heated and insulated with lashings of hot water to come back to after a day on the hills. The heated communal bothy is kitted out with a woodburning stove as well as full cooking and dining facilities. When the weather’s playing ball, grill up a barbecue on the firepit and eat alfresco on your personal picnic benches. At 15 minutes’ drive from the scenic Cairngorms National Park, the site is in pole position for outdoor adventures ranging from hill walking to skiing and kayaking. Not feeling the urge to get out and about? There’s plenty of room for the kids to run around in safety on site – but just remember to bring a sledge in case of snow during winter stays. In summer, you can simply laze around all day long, taking in those mountain views, or ask to meet the animals any time of year – after all who can resist cuddly donkeys, llamas, goats, free-range ducks and chickens? Talking of animals, any well-behaved four-legged friends are welcome, but please keep them on a lead while you’re on site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: The pitch had a beautiful view and was nice a quiet. The facilities were also very nice and private as well. The hosts gave us a great check in and were very kind. the animals were a nice touch too.

Disliked: It was a bit of a walk to our pitch, especially since we were not able to park on our pitch, but they do offer a wheelbarrow to transport your stuff.

Blackberry shepherd's hut

Liked: The shepherds hut was quaint though a bit tight. The bed was very comfortable and the log burner excellent. Beautiful location and very peaceful.

Disliked: The walk from the car park to reception! Very steep especially when carrying bags etc., Apparently the info states you can drive your car to reception to unpack but we could not see that.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Beautiful tent pitches, only a few pitches on site, and the layout has been cleverly designed to make the most of natural screening and barriers so that the pitches feel very private. A big fridge for campers. Nice bathrooms with great showers. The location was great for going into the Cairngorms NP everyday. 20 mins away from a big Tesco. Very friendly owners. We would definitely stay here again.

Local attractions

In a dither about what to do first? You can soon be out and about all day long around this part of Scotland… hill walking or trail running, rock climbing or mountain biking, wild swimming or kayking, hiking through forests and around lochs – call Outdoor Explore (20 minutes’ drive) and they’ll organise everything for you. And that’s just in the warmer months… when it’s colder, Glenshee Ski Centre is 20 minutes’ drive north for snowboarding, cross-country and downhill skiing, as well as lessons for complete novices and gear hire too. For a tour of mighty baronial castles, perhaps begin at Balmoral (50 minutes), the Scottish home of the Royal Family and open (when the King isn’t staying, anyway) for tours of its surprisingly homely rooms and walks along the River Dee. Other historic residences to visit include Scone Palace (50 minutes), where Scottish kings were once crowned, and Blair Atholl (35 minutes), home of Scotland’s only private army, the Atholl Highlanders, and an exceptional collection of weaponry.
