Recipe Feature: Napoleon Cake
This delicious cake takes its inspiration from the French mille-feuille, or the Napoleon dessert. It’s a fabulous summery recipe from the Dalmore Inn in Blairgowrie.
AD | Support to Suit You this Summer
Whatever summer looks like for you, GrowBiz is here to support you in a way that works around your needs and schedule.
A Day Trip to Loch Rannoch and Rannoch Station
Whichever way you get to Rannoch (either from the direction of Aberfeldy or Pitlochry), the scenery on the way is pretty spectacular. Choose the picturesque Schiehallion road or go through Tummel Bridge and enjoy the views over Loch Tummel. The really impressive thing about Rannoch, though, is the variety of scenery you drive through once you arrive.
Things to do in Fortingall
We like to visit this picturesque Perthshire village with our camera fairly regularly, as it’s something of a hidden gem in many ways, though perhaps most famous for the Fortingall Yew
AD | Golfers Look Forward To The 19th Hole At The Red House Hotel
A successful partnership with Blairgowrie Golf Club has given the local hotel a bumper May in terms of the numbers of golfing groups who stayed with them last month

Visiting Branklyn Garden in Perth

Dunkeld Day Trip
We especially love to explore the lovely independent shops and cafes that there’s such an abundance of here, all offering something different but delicious. Dunkeld has becoming something of a foodie paradise in recent years, and there’s something to suit all palates, with speciality cheeses, wines, smoked salmon, whiskies, pastries and breads available seemingly every few feet!

Wonderful Wandering at Loch Turret
When we were trying to think of a walk that would be at its best in late spring, a picture came to mind of a sapphire blue loch, fringed with vibrant green ferns and punctuated with the sound of birds calling. In other words — Loch Turret.

Have you taken a moment yet to go out, find a blossoming tree or bush and just enjoy this beautiful wonder of nature? Blossom’s beauty is a transient one and will soon be gone for another year, so now if the time to truly appreciate it, finding some peace and calm as we do so.
