Land Rover Experience Scotland Expands with new base,


  • Land Rover Experience Scotland extends its business with the opening of a new base on Butterstone Loch in Perthshire
  • New, more spacious premises provide additional conference facilities and the capacity to offer extensive driving opportunities to larger numbers of guests
  • Easy access to challenging driving routes on private estates that fully test the all-terrain capabilities of the Land Rover model range
  • Scenic highland location allows for additional activities to be planned, including some of Scotland’s best trout fishing on the adjacent loch
  • Lead Instructor Will Cox becomes a new director of Land Rover Experience Scotland

Land Rover Experience Scotland, the country’s leading off-road driving centre, is extending its facilities and its range of services to customers with a move to a new base on Butterstone Loch in the heart of the Perthshire highlands.

The new, more spacious centre is perfectly situated for easy access to challenging and highly scenic driving routes across nearby private estates. These give visitors the chance to learn from professional instructors just what a modern Land Rover is capable of and understand how they can get the best from the handling and drive technologies in their own vehicle.

As the only Land Rover Experience centre in Scotland, it provides superb facilities, including an obstacle course, swamp, rock crawl and sand pit, as well as woodland tracks across 280 acres of land. Local landowners have also given the centre access to a further 5,000 acres of wild highland estates.

The new lodge building has a striking design and enjoys a beautiful setting on the shore of the 110-acre loch, which is in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, rich in wildlife. It provides new conference facilities, with two suites that can each accommodate up to 50 people. There is also more parking space and better accommodation for the administration and instruction teams than at the previous base at Dunkeld House Hotel.
Beverley Large, Land Rover Experience Scotland Director, said: “The move to Butterstone Loch is a great opportunity for us to deliver an even better experience for our visitors, working from a larger and more flexible base. The superb setting adds an extra dimension to what we are offering, with opportunities for us to grow and offer new, additional activities.”

“Our work helps build valuable advocacy among Land Rover customers, anyone buying a new vehicle has an invitation to come to one of the seven Land Rover Experience centres around Britain – with ours as the only one based in Scotland. And it isn’t just about the all-terrain aspects of the vehicles, our instructors cover all the technical aspects of the models as well, such as how to make best use of the satellite navigation and multimedia systems.”

As well as customers, the centre hosts corporate and VIP guests for driving and team-building exercises. Driving packages are available from one hour to a full day, with groups of all sizes catered for.

The location opens up opportunities for a wider range of activities, with trout fishing available in the loch – renowned as one of Scotland’s finest trout fisheries.

In spite of being set in some of Scotland’s most glorious countryside, the new centre remains within easy reach, less than 15 minutes from Dunkeld village and the main A9 north-south route. Driving time from Edinburgh airport is about an hour and a quarter, while Perth is about 35 minutes away.

As Land Rover Experience Scotland takes up residence in its new base, it also welcomes Lead Instructor Will Cox as a new director, joining Beverley Lodge and Graham Clark in leading the business.
