Company information

Graham and Sheena retired and bought Blervie as a project in 2014. After a three-year renovation with a multi-million-pound investment in the property, we are delighted to share it with people that arrive as guests and leave as friends enjoying Blervie as much as we do. We moved here from Sussex however Sheena has come back to her Scottish routes as her family originated from Glen Shee and Graham has been hill walking up here every year since he was 18. Graham is the businessman who started life as a Merchant Banker, turned farmer with many interests in Equine Veterinary Hospitals and Building. Sheena spent many years working in the Veterinary Pharmaceutical industry, enjoys Cooking and is a keen horse rider. We have fallen in love with this beautiful part of Moray and the variety of activities there are to do in the area influenced by the ambient weather this part of Scotland enjoys so are looking forward to sharing this beautiful area and having moved up here 3 years ago it still feels to us like being on holiday we are keen to encourage you to go out and explore the many different attractions, just let us know your interests. We can point you in the right direction.
