Fingask Castle sits at the heart of a 250-acre Perthshire estate, half way between Perth and Dundee and only minutes from the A90. Approached by a sweeping drive that crosses a stone bridge above St Peter’s Well, the castle is embraced by ancient woodland, formal topiary and far-reaching southerly views towards the Firth of Tay and the hills of Fife. Scattered around the grounds are a collection of handsome Victorian estate buildings that have been thoughtfully converted into comfortable self-catering cottages. With open fires, modern kitchens and access to estate amenities such as a summer swimming pool, games room and tennis court, Fingask provides an atmospheric base for family gatherings, wedding parties and groups of up to seventy people wishing to explore central Scotland.

Fingask’s central location places much of Scotland within easy reach.

Golfers can be on the legendary fairways of St Andrews in under an hour and skiers in Glenshee in a little over that. Whisky lovers will find the distilleries of Perthshire and Speyside temptingly close, walkers can stride out along the Cateran Trail and cyclists can explore the lanes that ribbon through the Carse of Gowrie.
