Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Highlands at this cottage in Invermoriston. The leafy garden is a haven for wildlife, from badgers and birds to deer and elusive pine martens. On chilly evenings, get cosy in front of the living area's log burner with a glass of Scottish whisky. Expect traditional touches in every room – some may consider the decor a tad dated, but we think it only adds to the charm. Behind the house, private woodlands lead onto the Great Glen Way, while the village is about a kilometre away. That said, we think you'll need a car to make the most of the setting – Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness are both within driving distance.

About Inverness
With Loch Ness right next door, empty Glens dotting the countryside and the Speyside whisky region just down the road, folk tend to use Inverness as a base for exploring the untamed Scottish Highlands. But lingering a while in this small city has its rewards. Strolling between the willow trees on the banks of the River Ness and catching a glimpse of Inverness Castle is just one of those rewards....
