🌿 Our Green Journey: Staying Sustainably at Ericht Holiday Lodges
We’re lucky to call Blairgowrie home — a place of natural beauty, rich heritage, and warm welcomes. Tourism and agriculture are the lifeblood of our local economy, and many of our neighbouring businesses are small, family-run, and deeply rooted in the community. By choosing to stay with us, you’re already helping protect this special corner of Scotland — and we’re so grateful.
But your green journey doesn’t stop there. At Ericht Holiday Lodges, we’ve made sustainability part of everyday life, and we invite you to join us in embracing simple, meaningful actions during your stay.
🌱 Our Commitment to Green Tourism
In 2018, we were proud to receive a Silver Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme — a recognition of our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact and support our local area. Sustainable tourism means protecting landscapes, respecting cultures, supporting communities, and minimising pollution — and we’re always looking for new ways to do better.
🚶♀️ Park and Stride
Explore Blairgowrie by foot, bike, bus… or even canoe! We provide walking and cycling route guides, public transport info, and plenty of inspiration to help you leave the car behind and discover the area at your own pace.
🛍️ Shop Local
From kilts to honey and handcrafted gin, our local businesses are bursting with talent. Many are Green Tourism members too — so when you shop local, you’re supporting sustainable practices and passionate people.
♻️ The 4 Rs: Relax, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
We make it easy to tread lightly:
- Reuse our “Bags for Life” during your stay
- Reduce packaging by shopping at local butchers and delis
- Recycle with ease using our on-site facilities
- Relax knowing your holiday is helping the planet
🐿️ Back to Nature
We’ve designed our grounds to give nature a home — with wild areas, nesting boxes, and feeders for birds and red squirrels. You’re welcome to help us monitor wildlife, record sightings, and enjoy the beauty of our garden’s biodiversity.
