Planted among the Perthshire moors, this historic stone castle oozes Scottish charm. Built in 1560, its heritage features have been well preserved and are complemented with modern comforts like underfloor heating. Expect period paintings, a coat of arms, antler chandeliers and tartan furnishings - there's even an atmospheric stone chapel. In the Great Hall, you can feast with friends and family at the wooden banquet table beneath an intricate, hand-painted ceiling while the log fire roars in the hearth. The castle lies in Glen Isla at the edge of Cairngorms National Park, where you can spend your days hiking among the Scottish countryside. When you’ve finished exploring, a cosy evening of board games by the fire awaits before sinking into a four-poster oak bed.
