Scottish Cooking in a self-catering holiday cottage located in the heart of Scotland

Cook with Scotland's finest ingredients

Do you love cooking?  Like buying and using fresh local ingredients?  Then renting our self-catering holiday cottage near Blairgowrie, Perthshire  (Central Scotland) is the perfect spot to get creative in the kitchen.  Blairgowrie has regular farmer's markets in its town square and participates in the campaign for "slow food".  Perthshire is famous for its soft fruit - with most of the country's strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants coming from the Strathmore area of Scotland.  In fact, just across the stream from the holiday cottage you will see blackcurrant bushes growing that supply Ribena with its fruit!  Berries can be bought directly from the farm at a little shop near Guildtown.

You can purchase top quality meats such as beef, lamb and pork from local butchers, but if you are feeling more adventurous there is a Blairgowrie Farm Shop that can supply you with wild boar, rabbit and venison.  Of course, Perthshire is even more famous for its fish, and salmon and trout can be caught in the local rivers on purchase of a permit.  Though if you'd rather just buy it there is a fabulous little shop in Dunkeld called Dunkeld Smoked Salmon that we can personally recommend.

At the end of the day you can come home to the holiday cottage and cook these ingredients in our well-equipped kitchen.  There is a large fridge-freezer, 4 hob cooker, oven, grill, microwave and blender.  And at the end of the meal you don't even have to do the washing up as there is a fabulous dishwasher in the holiday cottage.  Mind you, with the lovely view from the kitchen window of the rock garden, and all the wildlife that you can see, you might be tempted to wash just a few dishes by hand!
