Nice to haves

This majestic mansion, with its ten glamorous bedrooms, offers a completely private retreat just outside of Edinburgh. The home has been in the hands of the Kinloch family for thirteen generations, and the bedrooms' unique names reflect the house's long, aristocratic history. The facade was designed in the classical style by the architect Robert Adam in 1750, and modernised to its current form in the 1820s. Make like Lucy from the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and explore every corner, while the rest of the family snuggles up in the drawing-room with the log fire burning. The hardest decision you’ll have to make is whether to serve your evening feasts in the oak-lined music room, or the formal dining room. On top of that, there are one hundred acres of garden and woodland to romp around and explore. The house is located in the heart of East Lothian, just outside Athelstaneford and, as the birthplace of the Saltire, Scotland's national flag, the village is entrenched in Scottish history. It's also situated on the famous Golf Coast, close to some of the country's best courses, and you can drive to the city of Edinburgh in just over half an hour.

Rising above Loch Lomond like a dazzling glass mirage, this extraordinary home is truly one of a kind. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and bi-folding doors dominate its front, offering unobstructed views of the Loch and its stunning surroundings. With its own private miniature beach, this truly is a Highlands haven. Inside, the contemporary and vintage-inspired decor makes the light-filled living space feel elegant while the rustic antler chandeliers and leather sofas lend warmth and cosiness to make you feel right at home. Spend your mornings reading on the Loch-facing deck or enjoy a morning coffee from the sumptuous sofa while watching the sun come up over the water. Then, book yourself some relaxing and restorative treatments at the nearby spa or head over to one of the many nearby golf courses for some fresh air fun. After a day of activities and exploring, come back for a soak in the eight-person hot tub before curling up in the plush bedrooms for a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep.

If it's good enough for Mary Queen Of Scots, then it's good enough for us. The iconic figure often stayed at this grand castle, taking advantage of the rural location and beautiful surroundings. Now, you can follow in her footsteps.

Feel like royalty in every room of this awe-inspiring building, each inch infused with historical significance. Rustic yet comfortable, the castle maintains its regal atmosphere whilst adding a layer of intimacy that puts you instantly at ease.

There are multiple rooms to discover, from the huge dining space to the cosy corners with chairs by the fire. The best part? You have the entirety all to yourself. After the host provides a tour and snippets of the history, you can explore each quaint crevice at your own leisure. Indulging in a royal feast in the dining room is a particular highlight. 

Such is the grandeur of the castle, we can understand why you'd never want to leave. But if you did want to stretch your legs, take a stroll along the beautiful River Tweed, leading to the charming town of Peebles. Here, you'll find welcoming pubs, a fascinating museum and premium restaurants.

Known locally as the Kingdom of Fife, this east coast region of Scotland is awash with historic monuments, ancient towns, sweeping beaches, and fresh sea air. While its heritage speaks volumes, there are of course plenty of built-up areas with everything a modern visitor could need.

Kinghorn offers pubs, traditional chippies, a golf course, and cute cafés, but the standout feature is the huge town hall. This Tudor-Gothic style building was built in 1826, with its ground floors having played the role of council chambers and even a prison. Secret stairways and enormous windows let you admire views of Kinghorn Beach, a seven-minute walk away. But why are we focusing solely on this historic landmark? Well, because this is your home. 

Your apartments are set over the first and second floors, with jaw-dropping, period interiors which feel regal, luxurious, and opulent. Rich red fabrics, elegant cornicing, chandeliers, solid marble fireplaces, antique furniture, gilded mirror frames – we could go on. There’s even a private walled garden at the back, where you can sit out under the stars sipping whisky and looking out over your very own kingdom.

Under Lock & Key

Set off into the wilds from this snug seaside base. Situated in the picturesque harbour town of Oban, the one-bed apartment is an ideal setting-off point for couples or solo travellers to explore Scotland's rugged Highlands.

Contemporary and comfortable, this home also boasts direct views of the bay. Cosy up in the open-plan living space after a long day and watch as the community winds down outside your window. We love the exposed stone wall that brings a touch of the wilderness indoors. The sleek kitchen is well-outfitted for you to prepare a hearty breakfast each morning.

Adventurers will no doubt be happy here – not only are there beaches and golf courses on your doorstep, but some of Scottland's best hiking trails are just a short drive away. We recommend taking the short and scenic ferry ride to the Island of Kerrera, where a crumbling castle looks out over the Atlantic. Enjoy freshly baked goods in the cottage tearoom before returning to your home base.

Escape to the rural idyll of farmhouse life at this cosy cottage in the Lauderdale Hills. It’s on a working farm, where the sheep have been tended to by the same family for generations and you can ramble across hilltops and country lanes straight from your doorstep. Head to the Carfraemill Hotel for a hearty meal, a three-minute drive or a twenty-minute walk away. Or, take a day trip to Edinburgh, forty minutes by car. The view from the cottage garden is stunning, looking out over the rolling hills and patchwork fields as far as the eye can see. Inside, you’ll find a farmhouse vibe with modern luxuries – a range-style gas cooker in the kitchen and a solid wood dining table for the whole group. The living room is a cosy spot in twilight pink, with an ornamental fireplace. Spacious, pastel bedrooms in the eaves are the perfect end to a day in the countryside.

On the banks of a secluded loch near Aboyne, this beautiful cabin comes with a beautiful story. It was originally built in the 1920s by Viscountess Cowdray, a close friend of Queen Mary. Choosing it as the perfect spot between her home and the royal estate at Balmoral, it was built so the two women could regularly meet and take tea by the water together. Sitting here, in the peaceful Aberdeenshire countryside, it's not hard to see what attracted them. The setting, overlooking the loch, and surrounded by tall pines is a truly inspirational one, and whether you're here in the middle of summer or the winter, the views from the home are second to none. Despite its rustic charm and rough Scots pine exterior, the cabin has been renovated to create a luxurious home, with antique furnishings, a log fire and vintage art. There's a modern country-style kitchen with everything you could need and two comfortable bedrooms. And who wouldn't fall in love with the huge freestanding copper bathtub in the master bedroom? Outside, hike in the woods, swim from the little jetty, fish in the nearby River Dee or watch wildlife from the veranda – visitors regularly see deer and osprey by the loch. And despite its private setting, this amazing place is just a fifteen-minute walk from the village pub across the river.

Get away from it all at this stylish, freshly renovated cottage with its stunning views of the Isle of Skye's countryside and mountains. We love the large, light-filled open plan living room, which is perfect for entertaining your family and friends. The vistas from the large windows are sublime. Gather around the contemporary log burner with a wee dram as the mist rolls in (there's underfloor heating here to keep you toasty as well). There's a lovely terrace off the master bedroom, perfect for a morning coffee. Or, when the weather is sunny, relax in the lawned garden.

When you feel like exploring, Dunvegan Castle and Gardens within the 42000-acre MacLeod Estate is 14 kilometres away. Or go for a hike around the spectacular Cuillin mountain range, 15 kilometres from here. The island's capital, Portree, set around a natural harbour, is also well worth a visit, and it’s 24 kilometres from this stunning home.

Only a stone’s throw away from Little Loch Broom, this breathtaking home in the Scottish highlands is an absolute celebration of peace and tranquillity. Embrace the seclusion as you sit out early morning, admiring the views with a cup of freshly-brewed coffee. Meals can also be taken out on the little picnic-style bench, because believe us when we say, you’re going to want as much time as possible here enjoying the magic of simply being present in the space. 

Watch mist dissipate, clouds roll across the sky to cast shadows on the loch, and when the infamous Scottish weather drives you inside, well, you’ll still have floor-to-ceiling windows through which to keep that connection with the rugged beauty outside. 

With marble, wood, texture, and a lot of detail, this home not only feels modern, but it somehow retains the charm of a log cabin, albeit more luxurious, and the warmth that comes with it, making this feel like a home away from home. Spend wet days stretched out on the sofa with cocoa in hand, or take full advantage of the board games on offer here and have yourself a bit of friendly competition. 

When the rest of the group wander off to do their own thing after a lunch enjoyed at the heavy timber dining table – we suggest sourdough topped with black pudding, cherry tomatoes, vinegar and black pepper – you can claim the window bench for a reading nook or retreat upstairs for a luxurious bubble bath with views of the loch. 

Take advantage of sunny days by exploring the area and find the Ardessie Falls only a short walk away. Stop off at the pancake tearoom or drive about fifteen minutes away to dine at the Ocean View Hotel. One of Scotaland’s famous hidden beaches, Gunaird Bay, is also at the end of a fifteen-minute drive.

Set within a beautiful converted church overlooking the River Ness, this two-storey apartment places you on a quiet road close to everything that Inverness has to offer. An iconic pedestrian bridge offering easy access to the city's shopping and entertainment districts and no fewer than three fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep.

On the first floor, the cosy living room and sleek kitchen come equipped with everything you might need during your stay. From the comfort of the leather sofas, you can enjoy prints of old Inverness adorning the walls, while quirky stone windows offer views over the water down at floor level. Elsewhere, the entrance level offers a supremely comfortable king-size bedroom, with an en-suite equipped with a bath and a separate shower.

Your convenient riverside location comes with the added benefit of providing easy access to the main road out of the city, placing you within half an hour's drive of Loch Ness, Culloden and the Cairngorms National Park. Whisky lovers will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy a wee dram at any one of several local distilleries. Glen Moray is probably the best known and approximately an hour away – you'll just have to hope your travel partner is willing to be the designated driver.

Finally, for anyone looking to explore Scotland's stunning north coast further, Inverness is the jumping off point for the famed North Coast 500. This scenic 516-mile long route weaves a ring around the northern Highlands before ending back where you started, the beautiful city of Inverness.
