Barley Bree was built in at the beginning of the 19th century by joiner James Ferguson. It started off as a humble inn with stables and a garden; over the years it has been extended and modernised while going through a roster of names. It has been the Drummond Arms, the Village Inn and Muthill Village Hotel. It became Barley Bree when the Bouteloups arrived in 2007.
Muthill has been a conservation area since 1974 and over 90 of the buildings in the village are listed.
Alison and Fabrice Bouteloup bought Barley Bree in 2007. He is a French-trained chef with an impressive pedigree, she is a wine expert who has been brought up in the hospitality industry. They looked all over Scotland for a place where they could combine their passion for food and wine and finally found a suitable pub in a pretty conservation village. Despite the dry rot and dodgy floorboards, they realised that this was a place on which they could both stamp their personalities.
Five years later they have renovated the dining room, kitchen, lounge and bedrooms. After a good deal of hard work and hammering they have created the warm, welcoming Barley Bree that has put Muthill on the foodie map.

The Glenturret Distillery is located two miles north west of Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland.[1] on the banks of the Turret River. The distillery is hidden in the glen and its secluded location may have contributed to its early history as the site of several illicit bothy stills.[2][3] The high hills to either side of the distillery were thought to act as lookout points for the smugglers.[4] When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery he described the glen as “a perfect paradise to artists, who come in great numbers to transfer some of its transcendent beauties to canvas.”[5] The distillery is located in the parish of Monzievaird and Strowan.

Loch Earn is a freshwater loch in the southern highlands of Scotland, in the districts of Perth and Kinross and Stirling. The name is thought to mean "Loch of Ireland", and it has been suggested that this might derive from the time when the Gaels were expanding their kingdom of Dál Riata eastwards into Pictland.
