One of Scotland's leading five star hotels has been awarded tourism's highest accolade for its exceptional standards and service. Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa, in the heart of Highland Perthshire, has been presented with five star status by VisitScotland for excelling guest expectations at every level.

The five star Gold Quality Assurance Award is the highest possible in VisitScotland's Quality Assurance scheme.

The hotel, which overlooks beautiful Loch Faskally near Pitlochry, prides itself on delivering outstanding guest experiences.

An exciting series of short films commissioned to promote Crieff as one of Scotland's top tourist destinations are now available to view online.

Shot in and around Crieff by some of Scotland's top film-makers – including Crieff's own Iain Johnston (Johnston Media) – the high-quality footage showcases the area's outstanding natural beauty and impressive range of businesses. The short films are being used to promote the town to the short-stay tourism market in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the North-East of England.
