Fishing, falconry, archery and horse riding, combined with golf at luxury Gleneagles.
Why Gleneagles?
For the beauty of the Ochil Hills, which stretch for 25 miles from the Firth of Tay to Stirling, and frame the 850-acre expanse of the Gleneagles estate, where you can indulge in, almost literally, an A-Z of country pursuits. Making the most of the greatest of great outdoors, you can ramble, horse ride or cycle through endless woodland, cairn, riverside and forest trails that inspired the likes of Wordsworth, and, of course, be treated to three world-class golf courses. Michelin-starred dining, sweeping landscapes and easy access to Edinburgh make Gleneagles a destination full of possibilities.
What to do
The breadth of the activities available on the estate ensures no two days need look the same. Country pursuits range from falconry and fly fishing to off-roading, while the new Sporting Club adds tennis, padel, a climbing wall and garden games. The spa, pools and gym offer a wellness respite. Dining is undoubtedly a highlight at Gleneagles, with Restaurant Andrew Fairlie – one of only two two-Michelin-starred restaurants in Scotland – joined by The Strathearn, The Dormy and The Birnam Brasserie. Excursions beyond the estate can extend your experience too, from a Whisky Maker’s Tour at nearby Glenturret Distillery to a day in Edinburgh, where the Military Tattoo in August is unforgettable.
Where to stay
Gleneagles offers 232 rooms and suites, each combining traditional Scottish character with contemporary elegance. From Estate and Manor Rooms to the characterful Whisky Suites, interiors are warm, bespoke and connected to the surrounding landscape.
Where to play
Golf is central to the legend of Gleneagles. The King’s Course, a veritable Scottish masterpiece from James Braid, unfolds over moorland with elevated views and a rhythm that rewards strategic play; the Queen’s Course, more intimate in scale, charms with natural beauty and undulations throughout; and The PGA Centenary Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, provides a bold championship test, having hosted both the Ryder Cup in 2014 and Solheim Cup in 2019. Practice facilities, instruction, hire and caddie services complete the perfect golfing picture.
