I stayed for a week in September and would recommend it to anyone whether of Faith or Non Faith for a most wonderful and restful place to be. But just if it is a one or two night stop off then just drive a quarter of a mile past the Soulless Travelodge and enjoy a warm and welcoming stay ; a wonderful lunch and evening meal without having to go out and find places to eat ; lovely garden walks and breakfast before You Go. Newly refurbished and warm rooms all with en-suite facilities and full wheelchair access. I have no personal connection with The Monastery and post this only to pass on the experience that I have had there for others to also benefit from.

Our wee Scottish Clootie Dumpling Shop, Cafe and viewing production kitchens will give you a insight in to the Scottish heritage and traditions . You will step back in time the minute you walk through the doors !!! Find out more about the history of the Clootie Dumpling and have the opportunity try the wonderful pudding/ dessert . We also hand craft Clootie Dumplings with a modern twist and make a variety of flavours (Lindores Aqua Vitae, Date and Cherry, Apple/ pear and cinnamon, Rhubarb and ginger, seasonal special, Whisky and Orchard Fruit plus much more) using locally sourced ingredients. These lovely, old-fashioned puddings are bursting with Scottish charm! They are a genuine taste of Scotland. In our quirky shop we have other fabulous local food produce, gifts, bespoke furniture and Harris Tweed. If you are more of a hands on person why not book a demonstration or workshop to master the art of Clootie making? Something for everyone! We are Dog friendly too !

A lovely place and I wish I had time to stay longer. The friendliness, passion and welcome of the staff was a real treat and I will certainly be back to sample the delights of the cafe. We were provided samples of the amazing variety of dumplings which were amazing along with the creative presentation for special occasions.Lovely to see creativity combined with an environmental focus and the ability to view your food being prepared through the glass fronted kitchen. Well done and I will plan a stop over next time I am Abernethy. Do visit if you get a chance.

A beautiful woodland park, otherwise known as Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park. But the park itself incorporates the main area of Kinnoull Hill with many walks and also a biking trail near Jubilee Car Park. An ancient woodland awaits you and it is managed by the Forrestry Commission. Some paths, especially the main path from Jubilee Car Park are a bit uneven under foot. But heading into the woodland you can take the walking hike around Kinnoull Hill itself to take you to the Towers looking over the River Tay and beyond. Or fantastic look out points presenting the city of Perth. Great photo opportunities when out in the midst of nature. There are other trails to take whilst walking in the park but the majority of people tend to focus on the trails around Kinnoull Hill. Go through the forest and take the trails leading you to the start of Coronation Road that leads to Kinfauns and then the trail also leads to a path taking you to MacDuff's Folly. Though this path is not ideal for those with mobility issues. To experience the park, you have to try most of the trails. Especially on a lovely spring or summers day, the sunshine brings the park alive. Though this is Scotland so wear good walking shoes, take a waterproof jacket and stick to the trails. Do not leave any litter behind, take your litter with you. Do your bit for the environment.

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. This picturesque parish church houses the nineth century Dupplin Cross, a masterpiece of Pictish stonework. The 9th century Dupplin Cross is one of a few complete, free standing early medieval crosses that survive in Scotland.
