Accommodation: A country cottage The first thing guests notice about this cottage south of Fort William is its idyllic setting on the shore of Loch Baile Mhic Chailen, with panoramic views across the hills of Glen Etive to the distant mountains of Glencoe. Glen Creran, made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped", is sufficiently remote to ensure peace and tranquillity, yet remains the ideal place from which to explore this part of Scotland. Whether guests are interested in history, castles, distilleries, wildlife or scenery, or just relaxing with a book, this peaceful environment offers something for everyone. The Western Isles, Oban, Fort William, Perth and Inverness are all within reach for day trips. Delicious dinners can be served upon request, followed by coffee in front of a log fire - the perfect place to plan the next day's activities. |

Accommodation: A country house in Caithness The former hunting lodge set in 20 acres of woodlands is located in the County of Caithness on the northeast coast, which is known for its diverse landscapes. The property is just a 30-minute drive from Gills, the point where ships leave for the Orkney Islands. During the 19th century the estate was the home of the aristocratic Innes family, whose crests line the walls in the hallway. The elegant Victorian mansion is now a B&B with four en-suite rooms decorated with antiques. Meals are made largely from fresh ingredients grown onsite and feature local game or fish. |

Accommodation: A former church While the 19th century church building is still surrounded by fields of grain, no church services have been held there for many years. The property was used as a storage place for potatoes until it was discovered by Christine and Uwe from Berlin and converted into one of Scotland's most original guesthouses. Upon entering the "church" visitors stand before a stately staircase leading to a gallery and a large hexagonal room. The area where sermons were once held is now a lounge lit by the awe-inspiring stained glass window. All rooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished and even have private bathrooms - an amazing architectural feat! |

Accommodation: A Victorian hunting lodge The lane of linden trees leading to the Victorian mansion on the banks of the River Dee is over a mile long. The former "shooting lodge" has been owned by the same family since it was built in 1896. After being welcomed with Scottish shortbread in the entrance hall, guests enter the morning room containing a table large enough to accommodate 22 people. Most of the rooms offer views of various bodies of water on the property's extensive grounds. Sabrina, the amiable host, is also an excellent cook who likes to use home-grown produce from the estate's farm. Specialities of the house include pheasant, wild duck and lamb. The Dinnet National Nature Reserve, an ideal place for extended walks through the moorland, and Balmoral Castle, the summer residence of the Queen, are among the nearby sites. |
