Our Guests
Make a difference
Gleneagles actively promotes green tourism and we welcome your support in helping to conserve our natural Perthshire assets for future generations to enjoy.
Each and every one of us can help to reduce our impact on the environment by following good environmental practices. Here are a few suggestions of how you can get involved:
-
Make a £1 donation per room, per night to our Perthshire Big Tree Country project.
-
Eat Local, Buy Local and See Local – support local producers and services, experience the true flavour of what Perthshire has to offer. Additional information can be sourced from our on site Concierge team.
-
Give the Car a Rest – leave the car, if only for the day. There are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy without leaving the 850-acre resort. Enjoy a walk or cycle in the fresh Perthshire air – route maps are available from Concierge.
-
Chill Out and Switch Off – switch off lights when you leave your room and turn the heating down. Another idea is to shut the window when the heating is on within your room.
-
Follow the Countryside Code – help us look after the beautiful landscape and wildlife by using footpaths and cycle ways responsibly. Speak to the Concierge team about joining the Woodland Walk within the grounds of the resort.
-
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – a substantial effort is being made throughout the resort to reduce, reuse and recycle. Assist us by avoiding over packaged goods and saying “no thanks!” to that extra carrier bag. Our Waste Management strategy has more information on our current hotel recycling.
Train is quicker than you might think...

Take the carbon footprint challenge!
A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact your activities have on the environment. The calculator works out the amount of greenhouse gases produced in your day-to-day life – through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.
Compare your results with family and friends and work out ways you can reduce your environmental impact.
