Site
The Trossachs offers a romantic introduction to the magnificent scenery of Highland Scotland - a land of shapely and craggy mountains, deep-cut glens and shimmering lochs, purple heather moorland and green forests. When the Bond purchased the grand but neglected former hotel at Tigh Mor Trossachs, it pledged that - with the help of the Scottish Tourist Board - it would return the building to its former glory. Following a multi million pound restoration and development programme, it succeeded. Tigh Mor emerging every bit as magnificent as it was in its heyday. Queen Victoria, a former guest of the hotel, would have approved.
Around and About
Rich in wildlife – the province of deer and eagles – the Trossachs is a region of fascinating history and legend. From the mythical giant Fingal to the notorious outlaw Rob Roy Macgregor and his followers, the ‘children of the mist’. Roughly a mile to the west of Tigh Mor you can discover the enchantment of Loch Katrine, the beautiful loch that inspired Sir Walter Scott to write “The Lady of the Lake” and which may be experienced, during the summer months, from the deck of the popular tourist steamer the SS Sir Walter Scott. Six miles further south, over the Duke’s Pass, you arrive at the little town of Aberfoyle, the southern gateway to the Highlands which is home to the Scottish Wool Centre. Overlooking the town is the lodge – the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park visitor centre, which is a starting point for many forest trails. The nearest town, Callander, has a golf course and is very popular with salmon fishers. Similarly, the River Teith – a 15 minute drive away – offers excellent salmon, sea trout and brown trout fishing.
Exclusive holidays for life
An initial payment from £5,000 and a quarterly fee of under £38 (that is around £150 a year), which can increase in line with but not exceed the Retail Price Index Excluding Mortgage Interest (RPIX), gives you access to all HPB’s holiday homes. For each HPB holiday, you will pay a no-profit user charge covering only property running and maintenance costs and use of on-site facilities. The average charge is the same throughout the year, and for a studio is around £360 a week and £540 for a two bedroom property. Larger properties are also available. After an initial charge of 25% your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself meets annual charges of 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly. Your investment return is purely in the form of holidays and, as with most investments, your capital is at risk. You can surrender your investment to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will get back less than you invested because of the charges referred to above, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.
