Depute Provost of Perth & Kinross Officially Opens £350k Caravan Development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park, Crieff

Largo Leisure Holidays proudly hosted the Depute Provost, Councillor Andrew Parrott, at Braidhaugh Holiday Park today to officially open the park’s new £350,000 development.

The event, marked by a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony and wildflower scattering, represents a significant investment in local tourism and long-term growth for the picturesque market town of Crieff.

The riverside development at Braidhaugh Holiday Park introduces 10 new holiday home ownership caravans to the park, aimed at attracting long-term holiday homeowners. The development also includes four new holiday rental caravans, two two-bedroom (sleeping 6) and two three-bedroom (sleeping 8), perfect for larger families. Two of the four new rentals are pet-friendly, offering an inclusive option for holidaymakers travelling with dogs.

This development is part of a broader investment strategy by Limerston Capital, which acquired Largo Leisure Holidays in March 2022, furthering its commitment to boosting Scottish tourism.

Councillor Andrew Parrott, Depute Provost of Perth & Kinross, had the honour of touring the development and the new holiday homes before delivering a brief speech, saying “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, further solidifying the partnership between Braidhaugh Holiday Park and the local community. Many business owners expressed excitement at the prospect of increased tourism and economic growth in the region.

Alison Watson, Group Operations Director for Largo Leisure, stated: “We are incredibly proud of the new development. Alex Butler’s 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.”

The new holiday caravans are now available for booking, with more information on the development and holiday rental availability accessible via Largo Leisure Holidays.
