An easy walk to the attractive village of Comrie which has good local shops and a wide choice of eating places, offering both International and Scottish cuisine. There are a variety of local easily accessible walks, the Circular walk around Comrie is one of the most popular. For the slightly more serious walker, Ben-y-honzie and Ben Vorlich are not too far away. Comrie has its own earthquake house lying on the Highland boundary fault.
The lodges are within reach of a number of attractions including stately homes and distilleries. Auchingarrich Wildlife Park is nearby and also Blair Drummond Safari Park, offering a memorable day out for the whole family. There are many excellent local golf courses including the famous Gleneagles with its three championship courses (venue of the 2014 Ryder Cup) which at certain times of the year is on a two for one ticket. There are water sports and sailing at Loch Earn.
The owners can arrange salmon and trout fishing and the use of the Crieff Hydro leisure facilities on request. Situated in gloriously peaceful countryside adjacent to Highland Heathers Nursery, the self-catering luxury lodges stand in a sheltered valley a few miles from the lovely market town of Crieff and the fair city of Perth.
Situated in the heart of Scotland, this is the ideal base for exploring the Perthshire Lochs and glens. the Trossachs and the highlands, yet within easy reach for Edinburgh, Perth and Stirling.
Highland Heather Nursery and Plant Centre was started in 1989 as a family business by John and Elaine Davidson. The house was built in 1745 at the time of the Jacobite rebellion. During the 19th century the house was a staging post and watering hole for stagecoaches. At the turn of the 20th century, it was a Dairy Farm then a Fruit Farm and then a Pig Farm until in the 1960’s it became a small heather nursery. Over the years the nursery has grown and has a Garden Centre, Shop and a small Art Gallery with paintings by local artists.
The nursery nestles deep in rural Perthshire where the Highlands truly begin at the confluence of three rivers, the Earn, the Ruchill and the Lednock with views of the surrounding hills, but only 1 mile from the centre of Comrie.
We have a 10-acre native oak woodland, which is popular for walking and a Druid temple excavated in the early 1900’s where many of the artefacts can be found in the museum in Perth.
