A Bit About Us

Picture
Aerial view of Craighead
Craighead is a traditional Scottish stone-built farmhouse and steading near Dunblane, Perthshire, the family home since 1990.  

Over the years it has become 'a favourite meeting place and haunt' for family and friends. We first opened with our Muckle Howf and those who have stayed are often returning time and again. It offers you a delightful location in which to spend your holiday, either to simply relax or as a base for some of the best Scotland has to offer.

What makes it special is the setting combined with the very high standard achieved. It is unique set in the quiet countryside, surrounded by natural gardens, a lochan and woodland areas. 

We have wonderful views, sunsets and privacy, yet thanks to our location we are ideally place to base yourself for easy access to some of Scotland’s finest country and tourist attractions.
​
Our glamping offers some of the most quirky there is in Scotland - each one very different and each one in its own little piece of our grounds and garden.  Designed and built by us, we offer something different.  Glamping we think at its best.  
We have lived at Craighead since 1990, restoring the house and buildings, then  going on to create the lochan, grounds and gardens.  As keen campers and lovers of the countryside we branched out in to glamping in 2014 with the opening of the Wee Howf.  The others have followed culminating in the building of our two Hobbit Howfs.  These are very special, built in to the hill side, with a shire all of their own. 

We are 5* rated for our Muckle Howf by the Scottish Tourist Board and are found regularly by our guests through Visit Scotland and Quirky Glamping websites to name a couple! 

Who are we - well we we are Ian & Heather -  family and grandchildren.  We met a very long time ago, worked and travelled and then came across Craighead.  We moved here with two small boys - Lewis & Arran and Hayley joined the gang a couple of years later.  Over the years we renovated the house and the buildings, gardened and gathered up some animals!  We always loved camping and the country and after the Muckle Howf was built the notion of  glamping took off.  We have tried to create unique places for people to stay, that offer a personal space in the grounds and garden from where you can enjoy the countryside and wildlife.  The great thing too is that in just a short car journey you can find lots of great places to visit. 

Around Craighead

Local Attractions

From Craighead you can strike out from here to visit Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument, Edinburgh or Glasgow or head north for the Highlands, Scotland’s National Parks or the mountains and lochs of the Trossachs. Only a mile and a half from Cromlix House, newly renovated by Wimbledon champion Andy Murray. Why not treat yourself to lunch or dinner at this must visit venue being overseen by the Roux brothers.
