Drummond Castle Gardens

Historical landmark
30 mins
It’s one of the most beautiful parts of our wee patch of Scotland, and an absolute treat for the eyes. The stunning gardens are something of a celebrity here in Crieff, and it really is no wonder they've made it to the big screen. You might recognise them from the hit TV series Outlander, and while playing the part of Rob Roy in the movie with the same name, Liam Neeson had the pleasure of working in the gardens too. The beautiful gardens are a must see when visiting Crieff, particularly if you catch them on a nice sunny day. Looking down from the castle you'll get to take in the sheer magnitude of the gardens, and panoramic views of the perfectly manicured trees and formal planting. Only a five-minute drive from us, you’ll approach the castle through a single-track beech-tree lined avenue. The tall trees give a suitably grand introduction to one of the nicest gardens you’ll ever see. Don’t forget to stop in at the kitchen gardens and glasshouses. They provide the fruit and veggies for the house, and the plants that feature in the gardens are grown here too. If they’ve got some extra produce, you might be lucky enough to take a few home. The gardens are built into the side of a steep hillside with several flights of steps. While this makes for an excellent platform to view the gardens from, it can be a bit of a struggle for buggies and wheelchairs. If your dog’s got a nose for a beautiful garden, they’re welcome here too.

The Knock

Recreation
15 mins
The Knock’s easy to find and it’s easy to climb. Standing proudly above our Cozy Cabins at Crieff Hydro – it’s a firm favourite amongst our guests, when you get to the top, it’s easy to see why… Get on your bike, strap on your walking boots or saddle up a trusty steed – it doesn’t matter how you get up, just go, go, go. Going up on foot? Signposts lead you all the way up from Crieff High Street and the wooded hill welcomes you with a short steep hike or gentler ascent. So whether you’re a fair weather dawdler or a Munro bagger, anyone can take a ramble up The Knock. Make sure you follow the different paths around The Knock to really view Crieff in all its glory.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
