Advent Calendar Day 5: Have you got your Christmas tree up yet? We're busy at this time of year carrying out tree inspections on our properties to identify any trees needing felled or tree surgery to keep paths etc safe for our visitors. We felled this tree recently, next to a path in Dunkled - it was pretty dead and hollow!

Our sponsorship of The Vale of Atholl Pipe Band continues, and we are very proud of the success achieved by the band over the last year.
Our sponsorship is focussed on the junior musicians, and in particular the Vale's unrivalled music tuition programme for pipers and drummers. This attracted 15 new young players in the last year, and the recruitment drive continues to bring more junior musicians into the band, and to support them through every stage of their musical development.
The Grade 4 (junior) band had a fabulous year, coming 4th in the World Championship and 5th in the European Championship. The appointment of Gary Nimmo as Principal Piping Instructor and Scott Campbell as Senior Drumming Instructor for the tuition programme will, we are sure, see the junior band progress from strength to strength.
The band will be playing at the Pitlochry Christmas Festival this Saturday, 7 December, so if you can, come along and see them in action!
The maintenance work today is beginning to look a little bit like a Michelangelo fresco... 🖌️
Thanks to both Tom and Ed for volunteering to help us float and fix the first upright of the year.

Advent Calendar Day 4: Not so much a partridge in a pear tree but some recent beaver activity down on the banks of the River Tay in Dunkeld. They have been busy felling more trees but we can see the "coppicing" effect, with new shoots growing from the stumps already 👍
How I wish people would understand that!!
I understand the use of coppicing ref human management of woodland but plse enlighten me about, say, this example? How does this help this particular tree's environment?
We had the most incredible festive evening hosting our annual Christmas Shopping Fayre with beautiful products on offer from local businesses. Our Great Hall and Chapel Royal looked quite the part!
And as if our halls weren’t festive enough, we were carolling along to the music of the Clackmannan District Brass Band and the Stirling Rock Choir.
Missed this one? Don‘t worry, there are more fantastic Christmas events coming up at the castle this month. Find out more at stirlingcastle.scot/festive.

We thought we would ask our local butcher who has an excellent reputation for what he has to offer us this Christmas. The meat he sells is all from local Perthshire farms that have been known to his family for three generations. "Full traceability of all Beef, Lamb, Pork, Venison and other products, direct from the same Highland Perthshire Farms for over 90 years." Remember he can deliver your order next day anywhere in the UK. For more details pitlochry-scotland.co.uk/shops/pitlochry-shopping-centre/macdonalds-butchers/
wish we had that where i live
Love this little town.
We are relations of the late Sophia Macleod of Blair Atholl, she always had the most delicious roast beef or pork dinner for us when we visited & she would take meat up to Forres on her frequent visits here , always Macdonalds & always extra delicious .
Any wheat free , meat free goodies? Butchers and farmers need to have 3-4 meat free days in a week.Happy Christmas butchers and farmers.😁🥳🎄
What has he got for vegan um
We have visited Pitlochry twice this year and on both occasssions have visited the shop in Pitlochry and purchased goodies to take back home to Wales. We get our haggis in ready for Christmas and New Year and also we bought a haggis lasagne to try. This is the best butchers for quality and choice that we have visited on our travels..oh ..and the pies are amazing..always have one to take on our mountain walks. Thank you ! Gary Roberts and Jo Tattum...North Wales 😀
Love it there...cracking place..
One of my favourite places...

We are just checking in and updating you all regarding Eddies search.
While we are still wanting people to be looking out around the Hermitage and Rumbling Bridge in Perthshire for Eddie, we believe people should be looking out in others too as it wouldn’t be surprising if he has travelled a fair distance by now.
The past week, there has been 3 sightings which we know of of a collie out on its own in Comrie, Perthshire. We haven’t yet established if this is Eddie but we would appreciate if people would look out for this dog and call us immediately if they sight it so if it’s Eddie we can act accordingly. If it’s not Eddie then at least we can rule out these sightings.
Today we received another phone call regarding a possible sighting on Saturday 23rd November. At around 9:30am a lady was travelling on the A822. and before the golf course (Fowlford) she seen a dog sitting near the entrance by some trees. The woman driving didn’t know about Eddie at the time and was only when she mentioned it to her mum did her mum make the connection. The lady was sure it was a collie type dog with similar colouring to Eddie.
We are following these leads up the best we can but it’s really important that we get everyone who lives along the A822 that connects Rumbling Bridge to Crieff which then isn’t that far a distance to Comrie to be aware of Eddie.
Please keep helping to share and raise awareness of Eddie as we so want to get him home to his family ❤️❤️❤️
