This exciting event, held on the 12th September, marked a pivotal moment in the park’s evolution and its contribution to local tourism. The launch ceremony was graced by Depute Provost Councillor Andrew Parrott, who cut the ribbon and scattered wildflowers, symbolising the excitement and optimism surrounding this new venture.
The launch attracted local business owners, reinforcing the strong connections between Braidhaugh Holiday Park and the Crieff community. Many expressed their enthusiasm about the anticipated increase of tourists and the potential economic benefits the new development could bring to the area. The event highlighted the collaborative spirit of the community and the importance of tourism in supporting local enterprises.
Alison Watson, Group Operations Director for Largo Leisure, commented: “We’re thrilled with the completion of this development. A big thank you to Alex Butler’s Contractors, whose outstanding craftsmanship brought this project to life. Braidhaugh Holiday Park is a tranquil escape on the banks of the River Earn, offering peace and serenity while still being just a stone’s throw from the charming town of Crieff, with its lovely shops and fantastic pubs and restaurants. The local support we’ve received today has been heartwarming, and we hope this investment will benefit Crieff as a whole.”
The new development features ten luxurious holiday home ownership caravans, providing an ideal retreat for those looking for a long-term getaway in this beautiful corner of Scotland. Additionally, four new holiday rental caravans have been introduced, including two two-bedroom models accommodating six guests and two three-bedroom models that can host up to eight guests. Notably, two of these rentals are pet-friendly, ensuring that families can enjoy their holiday alongside their beloved pets.
This project is a vital component of Limerston Capital’s ongoing investment strategy, which has been actively enhancing Scottish tourism and bolstering local economies since acquiring Largo Leisure Holidays in March 2022. The commitment to quality and community engagement is evident in this latest endeavour.
During the launch event, Councillor Parrott had the opportunity to tour the new holiday homes. In his speech, he lauded the development’s potential to elevate tourism and benefit local businesses in Crieff. “It’s been a delight to officially open the new development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park today. This investment offers holidaymakers and holiday home buyers the chance to experience Scotland’s rich heritage, along with its exceptional food and drink. It’s also a tremendous asset to Crieff, drawing in more visitors to support local businesses and attractions. With further plans for Braidhaugh’s growth, the future looks bright for this picturesque town.”
The launch of the new riverside development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park is not just an investment in luxury accommodation but also a significant boost to the local economy and community spirit in Crieff. Visitors and locals alike can look forward to enjoying the many benefits this development will bring, enhancing the park’s appeal as a top destination in Scotland.
