The Plan
Community facilities built for everyone
Annaty Glen will ultimately involve the whole of Balgarvie Farm - some 220 acres. The farm includes level arable fields, undulating permanent grassland, and trees and core paths along the Annaty valley.
The Glen family plan to build community facilities along a 30 acre green spine following the course of the Annaty Burn, and make them available for the benefit of the wider village. Think Quarry Mill but with more space and more facilities.
Rather than just promises made to get planning, this is the whole point of the project.
The Annaty Glen Masterplan
The masterplan shows the full Annaty Glen site layout, with the proposed walking and wheeling routes highlighted by yellow dotted lines, the co-community housing zone positioned to the north, and direct links to the Cross Tay Link Road active travel routes connecting the development to the wider Perthshire leisure network.
The Annaty Glen Landscape Overview
220 acres of Perthshire farmland, reimagined as a place to live well - with green space, walking routes and community facilities woven into the landscape from the very start.
New Petrol Station & GP / Medical Facility
Scone's GP provision is under real pressure. The village has grown substantially over the past two decades - with over a thousand new homes either built or planned since the early 2000’s - but primary care capacity has not kept pace. Residents regularly report difficulty getting appointments, and the pressure on the existing practice serving the area is well known locally.
The positioning of the Cross Tay Link Road at the edge of the Annaty Glen site creates a genuine opportunity to address this. The site layout allows for a new medical facility - whether a GP branch surgery, a primary care hub, or an extended community health space - to be incorporated into the masterplan in a location that is accessible to the whole of Scone.
We are at an early stage of exploring this with the relevant health authorities, and we want to be clear that this is an aspiration, not a confirmed commitment. But it is a serious one, and we believe the case for additional primary care capacity in Scone is strong and growing. We will update this page as conversations progress.
The CTLR Roundabout is the perfect opportunity for a new petrol station - removing one of the most commonly cited day-to-day frustrations for Scone residents.

Flood Prevention Landscape
Flooding is not an abstract risk in Scone - it is a real and recurring problem that affects homes, gardens and roads in the lower parts of the village. Properties near the Den of Scone, the Annaty burn and the Bonhard Road area have experienced flooding episodes linked to surface water management and peak flow during heavy rainfall.
The Annaty Glen masterplan incorporates a series of lateral bunds and attenuation ponds along the Annaty valley specifically designed to hold back and slow the flow of water during high rainfall events. This is not incidental to the development - it is a deliberate part of the design, and the benefit flows directly to existing residents downstream, not just to those living at Annaty Glen.
Subject to agreement with neighbouring landowners, the proposal could also take meaningful pressure off the barrel drain behind Highfield Road - another pinch point that has caused problems for residents over the years.
So please watch this space for any news on this effort.

BBQ & Beach Area
A large sand deposit discovered on the farm opens a remarkable possibility: Scone's very own beach, alongside new attenuation ponds. Sand and BBQ areas accessible by foot or bicycle for all ages. Why not?

3.4km Walking & Wheeling Loop
A circular path following the Annaty valley and the Bonhard burn, with seating areas, landscaping and enclosed dog-walking areas. Accessible from the doorstep — and we hope to secure parking to open it up to visitors from across Scone and beyond.

Outdoor Cardio Training Area
A military-style outdoor fitness area near the A94. Available for individuals, sport clubs, gym groups and local kids looking for fresh air and exercise. Outdoor fitness facilities north of Perth are currently limited to the North and South Inch — this fills the gap.
