Kirk Wynd Cottage 🏠

The perfect holiday home from home, located in one of the oldest streets in the heart of Kirriemuir.

Kirk Wynd Cottage dates back to 1714 and is constructed from locally quarried red standstone. It was originally two cottages, with west cottage being built in 1780 and east cottage being built in 1714. They were brought together in the mid 1980’s to create the cottage space you see today.

With a cosy lounge, country kitchen diner, two double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a family bathroom, it’s the ideal place for your next holiday.

We’re dog friendly too! 🐶🐾

This weekend Gwen and I were down on the farm learning all about turning potatoes into vodka! 🚜🥔 🍸

On Saturday we visited Ogilvy Vodka, a family run farm just six miles from Kirriemuir. Being a forward thinking business, they have taken their ‘wonky’ potatoes that can’t be sold to the supermarkets and shops, and used them to create their very own award winning single estate vodka.

We joined an afternoon farm tour which offers visitors the chance to see first hand the whole process from field to bottle. Firstly, we jumped on the tattie box tour trailer, where our lovely guide Rhianna took us around the farm, showing us where the potatoes are grown, stored and then turned into vodka at their onsite distillery. Once we had toured the farm and distillery, we were taken back to the beautifully designed visitor centre for a few wee tasters from their vodka and spirits range, which we definitely enjoyed! We even purchased a few bottles from their shop to take home and enjoy - cheers! 🥂😀

It was such a fun and informative visit and we would definitely recommend booking a tour when you’re staying at Kirk Wynd Cottage 🏠

We were delighted to receive our Short Term Lets licence from Angus Council this week. Introduced by The Scottish Government, the licence has been introduced to provide assurance to guests on safety and quality, such as gas and electrical safety compliance and the suitability of hosts.

All our fellow holiday let owners will know how much work is involved collating all the many relevant documents for inspection and also applying for the licence so we were very pleased to receive it.

Dundee is just a short drive from Kirriemuir, and there is so much to see and do in the city and lots of fantastic places to visit.

One of the great visitor attractions is Verdant Works Museum, a museum that tells the story of Dundee’s industrial heritage. The museum exhibition guides you through the beautifully refurbished mill and tells the tales of the city’s mill workers and how the people and communities working the mills made the city what it is today.

The museum is ideal for all ages and with a cafe, shop and free parking it’s the perfect place to visit when staying in the area.

Höfn Dundee is a speciality coffee shop, located in Dundee city centre. With its beautifully simple modern interior, it’s the perfect place to stop for a delicious coffee and pastry or a spot of lunch.

As its unique Icelandic name suggests, it certainly delivers on the scandi vibes and it has a minimal but cosy feel. We would definitely recommend a visit if you take a trip to Dundee on your stay with us at Kirk Wynd Cottage.
