CONCEPT
A stone’s throw from the popular and historic town of Dunkeld, the river Braan tumbles into the river Tay, having passed the famous Hermitage beauty spot. If you follow this pretty stream from the wooded valley you will find yourself in one of Perthshire’s hidden secrets, Strath Braan.
Strath Braan rises from the Tay valley and opens into a quiet highland Perthshire glen where the river flows gently and the fields and dykes of the valley bottom open up to heather slopes and rolling moorland alive to the calls of lapwings and curlews. This peaceful setting is steeped in history with the ruins of Trochry Castle and the birthplace of Neil Gow (1756 – 1823), the famous fiddler regarded as the father of Strathspey and Reel music.
Just four miles west of Dunkeld lies the farm of Borelick, nestled into the hillside with an open southerly aspect across the Strath. Here Tighmór have created a small clachan of five unique homes, sensitively designed by renowned conservation architects Simpson & Brown to provide the perfect retreat from the everyday pressures of modern living.
The traditional pattern of housing in Highland Perthshire consists of small scattered groups of dwelling houses or "Clachans". The development of Borelick echoes the traditional values of the clachan, with the properties sharing a common resource of setting and community, with the advantages of privacy and respect.
