An area famed for once holding Mary Queen of Scots prisoner, the county of Kinross-shire now has instead conference delegates asking to be detained here given its incredible beauty and majesty. Though a small county, only 9 miles from north to south and 15 miles from west to east, it is surrounded by spectacular natural sights such as the beautiful Lomonds to the east, Benarty Hill to the south and the Ochils to the west.
Bordering the neighbouring counties of Perthshire, Fife and Clackmannanshire with gently rolling hills and the striking peace and tranquillity of Loch Leven, this region is ideal for teambuilding events and corporate activities whether on land or water. Welcoming towns such as Kinross offer meeting planners a choice of conference venues where privacy means there are no distractions and delegates can focus on the business in hand. Whether participating in brainstorming strategy meetings, company-wide conferences, corporate banquets and hospitality events or teambuilding activities, delegates will find themselves immersed in this mesmerising location.
Good access via the M90 makes the region easily accessible to conference delegates by road whilst rail links connect to Cowdenbeath and Kirkaldy. Being within comfortable reach of the nearest airport at Edinburgh, Kinross-shire is also a suitable meeting destination for international delegates.
Being a little off the beaten track there are fewer meeting venues to choose from here, however there is certainly no compromise when it comes to the quality of conference and banqueting facilities or the standard of service.
Academic establishment Kinross High School is incorporated within the Loch Leven Community Campus which provides meeting spaces, training rooms and conference suites as well as a large hall and sports facilities with the ability to accommodate 350 delegates. Alternatively the Kinross Parish Church is a civic venue offering conference and exhibition space for smaller delegate group events. Being a popular area for walkers and leisure travellers, there are several hotels across the county. These offer some of the finest conferencing facilities available such as the Green Hotel, Golf and Leisure Resort. Having combined two venues into one, this vast 5,000 acre estate is only 20 minutes from Edinburgh and boasts a variety of flexible conference spaces, meeting rooms and banqueting suites as well as two golf courses, 5 restaurants, a luxury spa, pool and music venue! What more could any meeting planner want? Alternative Kinross-shire hotel options include the Lomond Country Inn and The Thistle Hotel where corporate hospitality, meetings and training events are hosted in a dedicated event and conference suite.
