These will usually happen in the Old Mill (renamed MACLEANS REAL MUSIC BAR at Cardney Steading for the weekend!) ... but sessions can erupt at any time in various places throughout the steading (inside and outside) from 6pm on Friday 31st October until 6.00pm on the Sunday evening! Bring your singing voice and/or an instrument and join in!
Shuttle Bus Schedule
Shuttle Buses are running from Dunkeld to Cardney Estate for each concert.
- All shuttle tickets are return tickets, are linked to a particular concert and cost £15.00 for a return ticket.
- The shuttle leaves from Cardney 30 minutes after the scheduled end of the concert. This should give everyone time for goodbyes or a wee drink.
- You can't 'mix and match' concerts with shuttle tickets unless there are available spaces on departure from the venue. (eg... If you want to stay all day at Cardney on Saturday and ensure a seat on the late bus you would need to buy 2 x return shuttle tickets ...).
- There can be no refunds on unused shuttle bus tickets. The price of the tickets barely covers the cost of the minibus hire... but we want to keep the price as low as we can ... it's a service we like to be able to provide.
- DUNKELD PICK-UP POINT - North Carpark (there may be a BIRNAM PICK-UP POINT added if there is demand...or if there is a point on the A923 between Dunkeld and Cardney where you are staying let us know (email admin@butterstone.com ) and perhaps we can request the bus to add a stop.

Campervan Parking
A limited number of campervans (5 max) are available for ticket holders only for the nights of the 31st October and 1st November…however there are no hook-ups or toilet facilities for campervans so the campervan would need to be completely self sufficient…with its own toilet, wash up and cooking facilities. Do please note also that the designated site is about a 5 -10 minute walk from the venue.
Also, we would need confirmation emailed to admin@butterstone.com well in advance of the weekend from any ticket holder wishing to stay overnight in a campervan … with the following information:
- name of ticket holder with confirmation number that is on your order.
- make/model of campervan and registration number
- mobile number where we can reach you.
