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.

Due to COVID19 some areas of the site were not open during our visit but we still had a great time and the staff were helpful, friendly and informative, and it still felt like good value for money. Strolling around the well-maintained grounds, past the site of the crowning of Scottish kings, through the proud strutting peacocks and past the fields of grazing highland cows and sheep is well worth it! The included guide leaflet makes the grounds walking tour easy to follow. The tour of the inside of the downstairs of the house was taken by a very professional, well-informed team who were warm and happy to answer any questions. The house really is an amazing timecapsule full of treasures! Highlights: the slightly un-PC but incredibly beautiful ivory figurines in the first room, the Dido Belle portrait (a must-see highlight), the porcelain collection and the organ built for the lady of the house. The outdoor coffee bar (indoor closed due to COVID19) had a good selection and the marquee seating (so you can drink it ‘indoors’!) was comfortable and clean. Plenty of parking and toilets in the car park were clean and tidy.

This is a fantastic church with a 63 bell carillon. They sound absolutely fantabulous. It’s great inside too.

10. Elcho Castle

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. Elcho Castle is a handsome and complete 16th century fortified mansion with three projecting towers on the banks of the River Tay. This is a castle to explore. Parade up the grand staircase or scurry up the service stair, venture into the well-appointed kitchen and admire the views over the countryside from the high battlements. The remarkably complete house of the 1500s was the country retreat of the wealthy Wemyss family. Its orchard has been replanted with traditional varieties of apple, pear and plum and has become a haven for butterflies and wildlife. The castle still has in place original wrought iron grilles to protect the windows. The interior is complete and roofed, with remains of decorated plasterwork.

Had no idea that this castle existed till last year. It is a 16th century mansion house but was known as the "party castle"! You explore the castle in your own time and can go onto the high battlements which provide a great view.There is a well maintained orchard. Worth a visit.
