Lapwing and Curlew Shepherds’ Huts

Available to book online

Situated in Tulliemet valley on an old shepherd’s hill track, our huts enjoy breathtakingly long views across Strathtay and beyond.

Our huts are luxurious and make for the perfect glamping getaway. Decorated beautifully, they offer block printed linens, hand-stitched quilts, and the comfiest king-size bedchamber. You will be glamping with a hot shower, fully fitted kitchen, electric underfloor heating, and log burning stoves to keep you extra warm.

The two huts are 20m apart sitting in a meadow and surrounded by fields. There are hammocks to read in, an outdoor firepit with wooden armchairs, and sheepswool rugs.

We encourage you to explore nearby Tulliemet Moor which forms part of the Forest of Clunie SSSI, where you may spot osprey, lapwings and curlews, deer,  trout, otters and – if you are lucky – our newly arrived resident beavers.

Activities on Atholl Estates

The Shepherds’ Huts are part of Atholl Estates, where you’ll find a wealth of waymarked trails to explore. With over forty miles of trails within the estate, there’s ample choice to explore the wonderful surroundings.

Situated on the edge of Tulliemet Moor – Scotland’s largest designated conservation area – this area is a fantastic place for nature lovers to explore. Loch Ordie is only a short distance away and makes for a tranquil spot that is very popular for both walking and cycling. Close by, you can also venture to Loch of Lowes, a Wilderness Reserve within Dunkeld, home to a breeding pair of ospreys.

Atholl Estates provide many other activities for you to experience during your stay, including:

Fishing on the River Tilt, Tummel, Garry or our selection of hill lochs

Stalking Red and Roe deer

European Beaver Tours

Pony Picnics

All of these and more can be found on our Activities page.

Blair Castle and Gardens

Blair Castle and Gardens are not to be missed. All guests staying at Lapwing & Curlew Shepherds’ Huts gain free access to both attractions during their visit.

Blair Castle allows you to see Scottish history through the lives of the Atholl Family, where the collections of furniture, arms, china, lace and portraits speak for themselves.

Local Services

Alongside activities on the estate, Highland Perthshire offers a whole host of beauty spots and activities in the local area.
