2 Luskentyre Sands, Isle of Harris
3 FOREWORD BY DOROTHY WELSH, CHIEF EXECUTIVE
A very warm welcome to our latest Luxury Scotland Brochure. Here you will find details about the finest hotels in Scotland as well as some unique experiences to enjoy. Our exclusive collection includes 29 mainly privately owned hotels, from impressive country houses to modern five-star city hotels; castles with romance and passion; an intimate cruise ship and the ultimate train journey across Scotland.
We work with a range of carefully curated partners: Little’s Chauffeur Drive, ExecAir Charter, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, fashion retailer The House of Bruar, Transcal, Dunnet Bay Distillers, Champagne producers Taittinger as well as Highland Spring. However, luxury isn’t just about enjoying the very best that money can buy. Often, it’s about having the luxury of time to spend with those you love. Creating memories that can be recalled with laughter and longing.
The smiles and cosy chatter as mother and daughter share a delectable Afternoon Tea. Lying under a canopy of twinkling stars in the inky stillness of the Scottish Highlands. The breathless excitement of a speedboat ride along Scotland’s spectacular coastline. And the gentle romance of a hike past mirror-still lochs and soaring mountains. These precious moments are what sets a holiday apart. That’s why we have matched our incredible hotels with some unforgettable adventures. Flick though the brochure and discover hotels and experiences that you never knew existed, until now.
There really is something for everyone.

Dramatic scenery. Majestic viewpoints. Mediterranean-style beaches and the occasional archaeological phenomenon. Scotland provides road trips to rival the best in the world.
There is no better way to experience the thrill of a breathtaking drive than in an entirely luxurious sports car or perhaps in a classic version of your childhood dream car. Consider the thrill of putting your very own Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster in gear and racing off along the coast.
A number of companies across Scotland provide an impressive selection of sports cars to hire, including 1970’s MG’s, to give you the chance to enjoy the road in an elegant machine.
If you’re travelling light, consider hiring a motorbike for a two- wheeled scenic excursion to remember. Then again, peddle power is an altogether more leisurely way to explore Scotland’s quieter roads. It just requires a bit more effort!
For those who prefer the luxury of putting their feet up and simply watching the stunning Scottish scenery unfold, why not hire a chauffeur and get driven in style. We’d recommend our business partner, Scottish based Little’s Chauffeur Service, who have a fleet of top range cars and highly professional drivers, ready to go. For more information about the services they offer, have a look at their advert on page 24.
