The Little Farm Shop – Seasonal Opening

We are delighted to finally open a little farm shop and take away on the estate. The is a ‘little’ venture which has grown out of the popularity of our ‘Fresh Food To Go’ offering during the recent lockdown. The Little Farm Shop will bring quality food to our community and offer some light brunch and lunch options as well as hot and cold drinks. You’ll find the shop on the right hand side as you enter the main drive and some picnic tables outside to enjoy the glorious sunshine …..ok well some days!! The shop will stock a weekly selection of market produce, dairy, free range eggs, and artisan bread as well as snacks and ice cream. The shop will also stock some of The Old Manse of Blair unique merchandise for your ideal trip souvenir!

The shop will be open on weekends until mid November 12-5pm before it’s winter close down. The times are subject to change so please check before travelling to avoid disappointment.

Set on its own private estate just off the A9, The Old Manse of Blair is located mid way between the major central belt cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling and the Highland Capital Inverness, the start of the NC500 driving route.

Afternoon Tea

Reserve a table in The Orangery for a special Afternoon Tea experience. Enjoy a selection of Teas or Coffee, savoury nibbles and freshly prepared hand crafted sandwiches to start, followed by an array of sweet treats all prepared in our own kitchen.

Why not indulge in some shopping or sightseeing on your day out too. Ideally placed between Blair Castle and moments from the House of Bruar, affectionately known as the Harrods of the Highlands, the choice is yours! Afternoon Tea is £25.95 per person and a gluten free option is available with advanced booking.

Advance booking required by calling 01796 48 33 44. Vouchers Available on request.
