AUCHTERARDER
PERTHSHIRE

When built in 1924 by former Caledonian Railway Company, with its own railway station, Gleneagles Hotel was described as ‘the 8th wonder of the world’ and today with its three superb championship golf courses, this statement still rings true Gleneagles' position in the heart of Scotland makes it a marvelous location from which to explore Scotland's finest courses and countryside. The guests always comment on the warmth and friendliness of the hotel and its service. Luxurious and impeccable though it is, you will find that Gleneagles has a refreshingly relaxed manner that is mirrored by friendly courtesy of all the staff. The public rooms are elegant and spacious and the guestrooms luxurious.
