Dull and Weem, Perth and Kinross

With the heather-bruised hills of Perthshire around you, this Grand Designs-style home puts you amid munros, riverside paths and enchanting forest walks. The charming town of Aberfeldy is a five-minute drive away, or an hour-long walk along the river path – perfect for hounds.

Alness, Highland Council

Sitting on eight acres of gardens, this castle was a case of love at first sight for us. There's plenty of history here, with the home being over three hundred years old – the garden is even believed to have inspired 'The Secret Garden.

Sleat, Isle of Skye

If you're after the sort of getaway during which you turn off your phone and cut yourself from civilisation — or work emails, at least — for a week or two of blissful isolation, we thoroughly recommend this home on the Isle of Skye. You're sure to feel your worries disappear as you tuck into a hearty supper on the dining table blessed with beautiful views of the sea and the Scottish countryside, or while snuggled up on the sofa as the wood-burner stove crackles in the background.
