Luxury self-catering accommodation in Scotland

Scotland's varied and breathtaking terrain lends itself perfectly to out-and-about weekends, from hiking, climbing and fishing, to long weekends relaxing in cosy cottages, or large family groups reconnecting in luxury cabins set alongside rugged mountains. The rolling natural scenery here is peppered with golf courses for those planning sporty breaks, and the world-class courses of St Andrews and Gleneagles are household names. Book a remote bolthole as a base to partake or spectate, or simply head into the countryside for another challenging hike.

A private lodge overlooking serene loch waters makes an idyllic base for exploring these remote northern territories, and there are photo opportunities to be had aplenty in this rugged land. Guests can watch the ferries pulling in and out, or scan the skies for rare birds. Further south, parties venturing into the cities can tuck into local treats, such as oysters, oak-smoked salmon, Scotch beef and delicious local game. Fine dining can be found in the towns, or hand select fresh produce from the markets to whip up a storm in your country kitchen.
