Largo Leisure Holidays proudly hosted Councillor Andrew Parrott at Crieff’s Braidhaugh Holiday Park as he officially opened the company’s new £350,000 development.

The September 12 event, marked by a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony and a more unusual scattering of wild flowers, represents a significant investment in local tourism and long-term growth of the Strathearn town.

The riverside development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park introduces 10 new holiday home ownership caravans, aimed at attracting long-term holiday homeowners.

The development also includes four new holiday rental caravans, two two-bedroom and two three-bedroom units.

Two of the four new rentals are pet-friendly.

The development is part of a broader investment strategy by Limerston Capital, which acquired Largo Leisure Holidays in March 2022.

Cllr Parrott, who is depute provost of Perth and Kinross Council, declared: “It has been a delight to officially open the new development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park today.

“This significant addition offers holidaymakers and holiday home-buyers an opportunity to experience Scotland’s rich history, along with its fantastic food and drink.

“It’s also a tremendous asset to the town of Crieff, benefiting local businesses and attractions with the increased number of visitors.

“With further developments planned at Braidhaugh in the future, the town will continue to thrive and grow.”

Local businesses were also invited to attend the launch event, with many expressing excitement at the prospect of increased tourism and economic growth in the region.

Alison Watson, group operations director for Largo Leisure, said: “We are incredibly proud of the new development.

“Alex Butler Contractors partnered with us on this project and were absolutely fantastic. Their care and attention to detail were truly unmatched.

“Braidhaugh is a beautiful park that sits proudly on the banks of the River Earn.

“It has a real sense of peace and calm here but with the luxury of being on the edge of the pretty town of Crieff with its lovely little shops and fantastic pubs and restaurants.

“Local business owners have come down to support us today, which we are incredibly grateful for, and we hope Crieff as a whole can benefit from the investment we’ve made at Braidhaugh.”
