Port Moluag House, Isle of Lismore
Our house sits at the bottom of a secret track in a private, historical cove on the beautiful Hebridean island of Lismore. Secluded, quiet and peaceful, Port Moluag is within easy reach of the Scottish mainland whilst feeling totally removed from the pace and noise of city life. The house is newly-built using eco technologies to limit its environmental impact and is surrounded by wonderful wildlife such as seals, otters, and a multitude of birds as well as many sites of historical interest.

Craigiehall Temple (historic property built 1759)
Make you trip to Edinburgh truly memorable with a stay at Craigiehall Temple. Built in 1759 and situated in its own grounds on a former part of the Craigiehall Estate, it's Grade A listed for its stunning portico displaying the arms of the 1st Marquess of Annandale. A plaque on the wall carries a quote from Horace: "Dum Iicet in rebus jucundis vive beatus", "Live happy while you can among joyful things". We hope that a stay at the Temple will deliver this experience and stay true to this vision.

All about Scotland
One of Western Europe’s last great wildernesses, with large areas of it sparsely populated and elemental, Scotland is a vast natural adventure playground of huge mountains, dark forests, and pretty valleys, home to rare wildlife and spangled with deep, sparkling lochs. Around its fringes, turquoise seas lap silver sands, while hundreds of islands — the Hebrides, the Orkneys, Skye, the Shetlands — offer fantastic adventures. If your aim is to cycle, hike, birdwatch, surf, or snowboard, set your sights to the northernmost third of Great Britain.
But Scotland also has vivacious cities with a hotch-potch of fun, grit, world-class culture, and sophistication. Everywhere, tiny, friendly communities welcome you to ancient pubs and chef-focused restaurants to eat fine fare from Scotland’s sublime natural larder. A fascinating history lies close to the surface here, and extraordinary sites abound. Yet these days the land of castles and kilts is just as much about sleek contemporary venues and mindfulness in nature as the classic pursuits of golf, fishing, and mountaineering.
What are the top things to do in Scotland?
Munro bagging
Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet are called Munros, named after Sir Hugh Thomas Munro, who catalogued them in 1891. There are so many iconic peaks to conquer, from Ben Nevis, the United Kingdom’s highest peak, to pyramid-shaped Buachaille Etive Mor in the spectacular Glencoe region. Or partake in trickier challenges, such as the Black and Red Cuillins on Skye. Sound too aspirational? Opt for a visit to one of Scotland’s 222 Corbetts instead — peaks of 2,500 to 3,000 feet.
Northwest Coast
Indigo, sylvan-cloaked mountains tower over exquisite white sand beaches and deep sea lochs along the astonishingly beautiful Northwest Coast. Top thrills include the dramatic scenery of Torridon, otherworldly Loch Ewe, and the looping road to the Applecross Peninsula for a slap-up seafood lunch. Durness, an arty outpost beside one of Britain’s most wild and windswept beaches, is a fabulous final hurrah.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow’s vibrant West End has one of Europe’s most impressive collections. Inside the redbrick building, a high-ceilinged space and more than 20 galleries display treasures including 19th-century French art and furniture by one of Scotland’s most influential designers.
