Exploring the Scottish Highlands
Not much changes in the rural corners of Scotland and yet there’s much to see and always stories to be told. An active exploration of the northwest reveals the secret pockets that have been made even more sublime by a poet’s musings or a visit from a monarch, castles that are linked to Shakespearean tragedies, farm-houses restored by billionaires and made entirely singular with their fusion of Danish and Scottish design. Along the way, the wild and vast beauty of Scotland remains backdrop to every event and historic accommodation challenging you to push out of your entirely cozy—yes, there’s a hygge vibe here—and luxurious abodes to revel in the melancholy and joy of this primal landscape.
