Local Businesses

Abhaile Homes ensure each house we build is unique and tailored to each individual customer.

We build in ‘Quality of Life’ destinations and shall shortly be building a new development in St Fillans, on our Willoughby Oaks development; with another development underway in Dufftown, Moray.

We sell all our houses off plan and are able to tailor the method of sale to suit the needs of the customer – it could be a finished house you want to buy, or a plot purchase and build contract; the customer decides.

We’re able to include features that you always wanted into a modern house without the hassle of doing a Self Build yourself at a Fixed Price and with an Insurance backed Warranty. Our houses include innovative features like WiFi speakers, Bed Decks and whatever you can imagine.

Our service, locations and designs are not for everyone but then if they were, we wouldn’t be able to provide the personal tailored service we do in such stunning locations.

Further details on who we are, what we do, our developments and House Types are on our website

The Highland Pen Co is based in St Fillans and prides itself on its production of handcrafted pens.

The pens are made from a variety of materials which include; Oak from whisky casks sourced from the Glenturret Distillery, the oldest in Scotland; Red Deer antler, from the hills of Perthshire which surround us; Celtic Bog Oak, from ancient fallen forests - this wood can be thousands of years old; Vintage Pen Blanks, discovered in Le Mans, France and last used to make pens in the 1930's and 1940's for the leading fountain pen manufacturers of the day; various exotic hardwoods including "Buckeye Burl,” a south American hardwood with exceptional colouring and grain; Turkish Walnut, normally favoured by gun stock makers for its ability to be worked finely; and finally, Thuya Bur, known for its exceptional grain pattern and colour.

We currently manufacture and supply pens to many Scottish businesses including Edinburgh Castle, The Wallace Monument, The Famous Grouse Experience, The Scottish Antique and Arts Centres at both Abernyte and Doune, The Lairds House at Blairgowrie, The Crieff Visitor Centre, The Abbey Sanctuary in Edinburgh and a number of other, carefully selected retailers of quality products.

We can supply you - whether you are a business, looking for a special pen for yourself, or as a gift.

Pens are available as ballpoint, roller ball or fountain and can be personalised to your own requirements. As well as choosing the type of material for the main body of the pen, which may be wood, antler or acrylic, it is also possible to select the finish on the metal parts from a choice of gold, silver, copper, platinum, titanium or gunmetal.

Each quality pen is unique, distinctive and practical.
