Wood Leisure Holiday Parks were delighted to welcome Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, to Faskally Woods Holiday Park in Pitlochry, where he officially opened the park for its first season under the ownership of the Wood family.
Faskally Woods is the latest addition to Wood Leisure’s award-winning group of family-run Scottish holiday parks, joining Lomond Woods by Loch Lomond, Callander Woods in the Trossachs, Blairgowrie and Corriefodly in Perthshire, and Deeside Holiday Park near Royal Deeside.
The First Minister was warmly welcomed by founders Colin and Margaret Wood, along with their family, and invited to ceremonially “cut the ribbon,” marking the start of a new chapter for Faskally Woods under Wood Leisure’s ownership. In opening the park, the First Minister said: “Delighted to open the new Faskally Woods Holiday Park in Pitlochry during Tourism Month. Wood Leisure is an outstanding local family company investing in Scotland.”
During his visit, the First Minister was given a tour of the park’s leisure facilities and swimming pool by Wood Leisure Directors before enjoying refreshments in the welcoming atmosphere of the Courtyard Bar & Bistro.
Colin Wood, Director of Wood Leisure, said:
“Faskally has been in the trusted care of the Hay family since the 1950s, and we are proud to carry forward their legacy”
“Since we began over forty years ago, our mission has remained the same, putting our customers at the heart of everything we do. That means high standards, quality accommodation, immaculate facilities, and excellent service.”
Sarah Wood MacGregor, Sales & Marketing Director, added:
“We’re delighted to begin our first season at Faskally Woods. Highland Perthshire is a stunning location with so much to offer, from scenic walking and cycling trails to thrilling water sports on the Rivers Tummel, Garry, and Tay”
“Guests can also enjoy fantastic local events such as Etape Caledonia, The Enchanted Forest, and the Heartland Festival, not to mention the vibrant summer programme at Pitlochry Festival Theatre“
