The Fair City of Perth lies some 16 miles to the north east and offers a wider range of facilities including national retailers, concert hall, theatre, cinema and both railway and bus stations. There are a number of independent schools in the local area including Morrison’s Academy and Ardvreck both in Crieff (6 miles), Craigclowan in Perth, and Strathallan, Glenalmond, and Kilgraston all within easy reach of Westerton Farm.
Westerton lies within easy reach of the A9 dual carriageway, approximately 5 miles to the south east, linking Perth to the north, Stirling to the south with Edinburgh and Glasgow beyond. Gleneagles railway station (6 miles) provides daily services north and south including daytime and overnight sleeper services down to London with further rail services available from both Perth and Dunblane. Glasgow and Edinburgh can be reached in about an hour’s journey by car, both providing international airports and vast array of city amenities, services and attractions.
The County of Perthshire offers a diverse range of recreational activities. For the golfer, numerous courses are nearby including three championship courses at Gleneagles Hotel, an 18 hole course at Auchterarder whilst, to the north, Crieff offers both 9 and 18 hole courses. Gleneagles Hotel, and Crieff Hydro each provide excellent facilities to members including a swimming pool, sports facilities, equestrian centre, shooting school and a number of restaurants including the 2 Michelin star Andrew Fairlie Restaurant at Gleneagles. Loch Earn, lying some 20 miles to the north-west, has a sailing club and further water sports are available at Loch Earn. The Dewars Centre in Perth is home to the well-respected Perth Curling Club. The area is also renowned for its spectacular countryside and its many rural pursuits including hill walking, mountain biking, horse riding and the sporting opportunities afforded by local Estates and the River Tay and its tributaries. Skiing is available at Glenshee which can be reached in about an hour and a half’s journey by car.
Perthshire is well-served by agricultural merchants, suppliers and machinery dealers with a successful local machinery ring available to provide additional resources as and when required. There are two livestock markets in Stirling (18 Miles) and a market in Forfar just over an hour’s drive to the north east.
FARMING HISTORY
The current owners bought Westerton in 1984, and the farming system has been centred on a mixed arable enterprise including a rotation of cereals, potatoes, shopping swedes, together with temporary grass. All of the land has benefited from regular applications of farmyard manure generated from the seller’s existing livestock enterprise. The land can be worked to a good depth and regular soil and lime tests have been carried out and a continuous programme of ditching and drainage works, which have ensured the land is farmed to its maximum potential. In addition, a significant proportion of the existing fences have been renewed in recent years. A schedule of the cropping history is contained within the brochure.
