On a wild shoreline that has exerted a mythic pull on travellers for generations, Northlight is a 19th century Scottish homestead with rigorous eco credentials. Its owners, both celebrated wildlife photographers, found themselves drawn to the Isle of Skye's elemental beauty, which echoed landscapes they had encountered in the world's most remote latitudes. Interiors are swathed in organic tones and layered with artwork from those global expeditions, whilst picture windows frame Loch Dunvegan and the Black Cuillin beyond. Between house and shore, a private outdoor sauna offers pause, and a path beckons to the loch's edge. Here, the light, the tide and the sense of sanctuary cast an enduring spell.
