ONE of Scotland’s best-loved family resorts, Crieff Hydro Hotel, has launched a brand-new land train to transport visitors around its vast estate this summer.

The affectionately named ‘Hydro Express’ will transfer guests from the front doors of the iconic Crieff Hydro Hotel to the resort’s Action Glen Outdoor Activity Centre, stopping off at the foot of The Knock of Crieff along the way.

The land train is set to launch its fully timetabled service in July, as families from around the world descend on Perthshire for the summer holidays.

Richard Leckie, from the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, said: “The Hydro Express is a game-changer for guests who want to explore every corner of the Crieff Hydro estate, and we can’t wait to welcome passengers from around the world to explore our stunning grounds this summer.

Return journeys between Crieff Hydro Hotel and Action Glen are £1 per traveller, with unlimited journeys priced at £5 per person per stay.
