Richard and Celia Pickup welcome you to their home at Craigadam

Widely respected for its oustanding accommodation and game cooking, this country estate in South West Scotland offers some of the finest recreational and holiday activity in the Scottish Borders. Comfort and a warm welcome are matched by the great diversity of things to do in this unique and friendly environment. Prices vary according to the kind of holiday required, so you are encouraged to call Craigadam and discuss your needs.

Craigadam is a Scottish sporting estate. There are 25,000 acres of farmland, moorland and woodland. Richard and Celia Pickup have together developed a remarkably successful formula for holidaymakers wishing to 'get away from it all', but to be active and entertained unobtrusively as well. Accommodation is of a very high standard with all rooms en-suite. Celia Pickup turns the local game into traditional meals that give visitors a chance to appreciate both Scottish cuisine and their own achievements. After dinner, visitors can enjoy the delights of the lounge or the snooker room.
