Location

Tayur House is situated in a very accessible location on the edge of Invergowrie, sometimes known as the first village in Perthshire, yet close to Dundee. The house enjoys a spectacular position near the River Tay, yet is within walking distance of the local amenities which include a primary school, convenience store, pub, chemist, dentist, hairdresser and a railway station with commuter services to Dundee and Perth. The village is on the eastern edge of an area known as the Carse of Gowrie which stretches from Dundee along the River Tay to Perth. To the north are the Sidlaw Hills.

Dundee is an established centre of excellence in education, life sciences, medicine and dentistry, and has renowned cultural facilities, including the V&A museum. Dundee Airport has flights to London Heathrow and Edinburgh Airport is easily reached.
Away from the city, the range of outdoor pursuits is impressive. Being close to the county boundary between Perthshire and Angus, the area benefits from all the activities that both counties have to offer. There is sailing on the River Tay and lovely walks in the Sidlaws. There are also a number of fine links golf courses in the area including Barry, Panmure and the renowned Carnoustie. The ancient town of St Andrews, the home of golf and the oldest university in Scotland, is over the River Tay, while Gleneagles is also easily reached.
