The Spa at Gleneagles
Begin your day by checking into Scotland's grandest playground. The spa here is a masterclass in modern restoration, using botanicals sourced directly from the surrounding Ochil Hills. Spend your morning switching between the thermal suites and a bespoke wellness treatment designed to shake off any winter chill.
The Taybank
Drive north along the Tay to Dunkeld, where this beautifully restored riverside inn serves some of the best casual, seasonal food in the region. Nab a table by the window to watch the river rush past while tucking into wood-fired flatbreads and locally landed trout. It’s warm, understated, and completely devoid of pretension.
The North Port Restaurant
Tucked inside an 18th-century cottage right next to the concert hall, this is Perth's culinary jewel. Chef Andrew Christie turns out highly focused, modern Scottish dishes using ingredients foraged from the local glens. It’s an intimate, low-lit space perfect for a relaxed, early-evening dinner.
Perth Concert Hall
Take your seats in the acoustically superb auditorium for a festive masterclass: 'The Holiday' projected in high-definition while a full live orchestra performs Hans Zimmer’s gorgeous, whimsical score. It's the ultimate winter warm-up, wrapping you in pure, cinematic comfort.
The Century Bar at Gleneagles
Head back to the estate for a nightcap under the soaring ceilings of this Art Deco masterpiece. Order a smoky single malt or one of their house-crafted cocktails, and sink into a velvet booth to decompress after the show. It’s the only way to end a winter night in Perthshire.
