The Pineapple, Airth

The Pineapple is an elaborate, 
two-storey summerhouse built for the 4th Earl of Dunmore. Though classical and orthodox at ground level, it grows into something entirely fruity – architraves put out shoots and end as prickly leaves of stone. It is an eccentric work of undoubted genius, built of the very finest masonry. To house the gardeners, stone bothies were built on either side of The Pineapple and that’s where you stay. At the back is a lovely private garden.

Cromlix House near Dunblane

When Andy Murray acquired Cromlix, close to his hometown, it signalled not only a return to his roots but the chance to reinvent the glorious era of grand country house living.

21st Century in sumptuous surroundings. Cromlix is set in 34 acres of secluded woodlands and garden grounds, with its own chapel and house loch. The hotel boasts a Chez Roux restaurant, offering reasonably priced menus that focus on using locally sourced produce wherever possible. It has five suites and 10 bedrooms, gate lodge accommodation, reception hall, two drawing rooms, conservatory, dining room, snooker and meeting rooms.
