IN OUR LANDMARK 100th year, we celebrated a century of the Glorious Playground! As we entered 2024 as a multi-award-winning estate, we reflected on our history, spanning high times and wartimes, celebrating the past century with unbridled glamour while raising a glass to the next 100 years alongside our inaugural Edinburgh home, Gleneagles Townhouse.
Our jubilant celebrations included a bespoke Centenary Afternoon Tea, a wonderful Summer Ballet Performance, the addition of a gruelling 100km Centenary Challenge Race, and our glamorous Centenary Ball.
Exciting commemorations included a beautiful coffee table book ‘Stories from the Glorious Playground’ and an exclusive collaboration with Barbour. We kicked off in style with the Great Scots Burns Night Supper and auction in the Ballroom, fundraising for our friends at Social Bite who are building villages to combat homelessness in Scotland.
It might seem a tough act to follow, but instead of wearing out our dancing feet, we’ve regrouped with a renewed sense of rejuvenation. We’re continuing to propel ourselves forward with one thought in mind: to make our guests’ experiences the best they’ve ever had, at any hotel anywhere. Here’s to the next century!

Where sporting grit meets stunning scenery and luxury hospitality, The Great Adventure Race is a thrilling annual celebration of spring and the great outdoors. To celebrate our centenary, we offered the choice of two; the Classic 55km route or our Centenary Challenge tackling 100km in celebration of our 100 years.
The Centenary Challenge was an individual race with an 8km canoe across a loch; 22km trail run over two of the most stunning summits in Perthshire; and a 70km cycle through the local country roads, before guests celebrated back at the hotel with a glamorous dinner and prize giving.
