Atholl Estates are now offering organic breaks in three of our self-catering lodges, Old Blair, Convalloch and Glen Bruar.

Old Blair and Convalloch are surrounded by organic status farmland, while Glen Bruar is set in organic moorland, nine miles along a private track from Calvine.

Our lodges have a selection of organic living and cookery books for your perusal.

Tractor and trailer farm tours of Blair Castle’s organic status home farm run regularly throughout Spring and Summer and private Land Rover wildlife tours can also be booked.

Many of the estates’ farms are part of the Atholl Glens Organic Meat co-operative supplying top quality beef, lam and mutton via mail order and at the Perth Farmers Market. Boxes of beef, lamb and mutton can be pre-ordered and delivered frozen to your lodge for your stay.
