Tigh Mor Trossachs, Trossachs, Scotland

Tigh Mor Trossachs is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,500 properties to over 40,000 investors across more than 30 locations. You can find out more about Tigh Mor Trossachs below, but first a brief explanation about the Holiday Property Bond.

A. How can I holiday better?

Invest from £5,000 in the Holiday Property Bond for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,500 top quality villas, cottages and apartments in 32 locations across 13 European countries, including over 600 properties in 19 locations in the UK. For each £1 invested you will receive one Holiday Point each year which you can use to book the properties. And when staying in them you do not pay a commercial rent, just a no-profit user charge covering actual running, maintenance and refurbishment costs. This charge is level throughout the year so there are no high season premiums. The average charge for a studio is around £360 and around £540 for a two bedroom property, for a week. Larger properties are also available. This no-profit user charge is only payable when you want to go on holiday. Your only ongoing commitment is a quarterly fee under £38 (that is around £150 a year), linked to RPIX.

B. Will there be more properties in the future?

As we attract more investors the more properties we will add to the portfolio – increasing your holiday choice still further.

C. How long can I holiday with HPB?

For life if you wish – the holiday benefits last as long as you hold the Bond. In due course you can pass it and the holiday benefits to your children and grandchildren, as many of our earlier investors have already done. If, however, at some point you and your family no longer wish to holiday with us you can surrender your Bond back to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances). You will not get back the full amount you invested, although we would hope that you will have had some wonderful holidays. What you do get back will reflect initial charges (25%) taken before your money is invested in the HPB fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself also pays annual charges of around 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly, as well as overheads. The value of the fund’s properties and securities can also go up or down and so, like most investments, your capital is at risk.

Tigh Mor Trossachs, the 'big house in the Trossachs', was a sadly neglected former hotel when it was rescued and restored to its former glory. Following a multi-million pound restoration and development programme, Tigh Mor emerged every bit as magnificent as it was in its heyday when Queen Victoria stayed there. Today it provides a choice of outstanding holiday apartments and cottages.

With magnificent views across Loch Achray, Tigh Mor offers a romantic introduction to the magnificent scenery of Highland Scotland - a land of craggy mountains, deep-cut glens and shimmering lochs, purple heather moorland and green forests.

Rich in wildlife, particularly deer and eagles, the Trossachs is a region of fascinating history and legend, from the mythical giant Fingal to the notorious outlaw Rob Roy Macgregor and his followers, the 'children of the mist'. Discover more about the region and Tigh Mor's hotel history in our dedictaed post.

Roughly a mile to the west of Tigh Mor you can discover the enchantment of Loch Katrine, the beautiful loch that inspired Sir Walter Scott to write The Lady of the Lake. The nearest town, Callander, has a golf course and is very popular with salmon fishers. Similarly, the River Teith - a 15-minute drive away - offers excellent salmon, sea trout and brown trout fishing.

Situated near the centre of Scotland, Perthshire truly is a beautiful place to stay. It's a county well known for its history, myths and legends and is home to the River Tay - the biggest river in Britain. Perthshire spans so many miles that it has earnt the nickname 'big county'; you'll certainly never run out of places to explore.

Tigh Mor Trossachs, Trossachs, Scotland is part of the Holiday Property Bond portfolio offering exclusive access to over 1,500 properties to its 40,000 investors ("Bondholders"). If you are not already a Bondholder and would like further details please see below.

Fantastic activities for couples and families

To see Perthshire at its best, you need to explore on foot. Fortunately, there are plenty of walking trails to follow, suitable for all abilities. You could take the dog and enjoy a walk through a forest, or get up in the mountains and see some incredible views. If you'd prefer to see Perthshire on two wheels, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to on and off-road cycling routes too.

Want to get your heart racing? The brave can go canyoning, cliff-jumping or flying in a microlight. Queen Elizabeth Forest Park is a great place to go walking, cycling, horse-riding or to try something a little more adventurous. We certainly recommend paying it a visit.

Easy access to the Trossachs incredible lochs

The Trossachs has an impressive 22 lochs, with Loch Lomond being the most famous. Of course, we recommend that you see as many as you can during your stay, but if you only have time for a couple, then Loch Katrine isn't to be missed. It's well known as being the inspiration for The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott, who now has a steamship named after him there. You can easily reach the loch by foot.

Enjoy Scotland's fishing mecca

Keen anglers will not be disappointed, as Perthshire is rich with great fishing spots. If you want to know where to go and what to do to catch the best fish, hire a ghillie to take you on a guided visit to a loch or river. Of course, you could stay closer to home and fish in Tigh Mor's own fishing pond or Loch Achray.

Taste some of the finest whisky in Scotland

You can't leave Scotland without sampling its national drink. Luckily, there are plenty of whisky distilleries in the surrounding areas, including Deanston's. There, you'll get a detailed tour of the distillery and you'll even get to try some of its produce. Just make sure you get the bus home!

If you and your designated driver don't mind travelling a bit further afield, Glengoyne is renowned for being one of the most beautiful distilleries in Scotland. Its malt whisky is beloved all over the world, so taking a tour here is a must. Why not try the whisky and chocolate tour, or really push the boat out and try the Masterclass, where you'll taste various whiskies and sherries? You'll even get the chance to make your very own single malt!

Explore Perthshire's magnificent castles

Scotland is perhaps just as famous for its castles as it is its whisky, and there are certainly a few to see in Perthshire. Two of the best are Doune Castle and Stirling Castle - the latter is one of the grandest and overlooks a number of Scotland's important battlefields.

Doune Castle, on the other hand, dates back to the medieval era and was once occupied by the forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Although it has undergone renovations, the castle's appearance today isn't far off how it originally looked.
