Experience · The Highlands and islands
A house, a cook and the hill to yourselves.
A whole Highland or island estate house for a family or a group of friends.
About this experience
For a family or a group of friends, a whole house on a Highland or island estate is the best way to see Scotland: a cook, a ranger, a ghillie, and a hill or a shore that is yours for the week.
Stalking and shooting happen on many estates in season. We never assume themverify. We plan walking, wildlife, fishing, boats and long dinners instead, and add stalking only if you ask.
We match the estate to the group: the age range, how far you’ll drive, whether you want a boat or a river. Then the staff, the meals and the days out. See Estates for how it works.
