Killiecrankie House: Fine Dining Meets Highland Charm

Nestled on the edge of Cairngorms National Park near Pitlochry in the heart of Perthshire, Killiecrankie House is a culinary and hospitality gem redefining fine dining in the Scottish Highlands. Once a traditional country hotel, this historic house has been transformed by chef Tom Tsappis and sommelier Matilda Tsappis into a destination of gastronomic excellence, seamlessly blending Scottish tradition with Japanese-inspired precision.

Set among four acres of lush gardens, Killiecrankie House invites guests into an intimate world of mid-century elegance paired with Highland warmth. The experience begins in the glamorous art deco cocktail bar, where handcrafted drinks set the mood for what’s to come: a 15-course tasting menu that is nothing short of theater. Guests are treated to imaginative dishes crafted from hyper-local, seasonal ingredients—think hand-dived scallops, venison, and brambles—elevated with inventive touches like miso, dashi, and foraged Christmas tree needles. Each course, from smoked pine-scented oyster mushrooms to decadent braised ox cheek, is paired with rare wines, sake, or spirits, selected with care by Matilda.

The setting is as personal as the menu, with Tom and Matilda hosting guests with genuine warmth, weaving stories of the land and their journey from London to this secluded Highland retreat. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal, visitors will find themselves immersed in modern Scottish finesse, Michelin-level artistry, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Killiecrankie House offers more than a meal—it’s an escape into a world of culinary magic, just 90 minutes from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
