Dining & Gourmet

The hotel is home to Albert and Michel Roux Jr at Inverlochy Castle, a multi-award-winning restaurant from the world-famous father and son duo. Impressive menus embrace Scotland's incredible produce - whether fresh fish or locally grown vegetables - while a dedicated sommelier is on hand to suggest a perfectly paired wine to match. Followed by drinks and canapes, dinner is served in one of three elegant dining rooms, each one boasting period furniture gifted to the castle by the King of Norway. Breakfast, room service and afternoon tea menus showcase the same brilliant produce and quality cuisine. A dedicated whisky room offers a huge choice of Scotland's famous tipple, including some limited releases.

Getting There

Ask your Luxury Travel Specialist for the best travel arrangements according to your bespoke itinerary.

Scenery and Wildlife

Scotland is home to some seriously stunning scenery. Stretching for hundreds of miles, the Highlands is one of the country’s most beautiful areas, characterised by dramatic mountain peaks, serene lochs, ancient forests, sprawling moorlands and plenty of charming villages to explore. Head out on one of the many hiking trails in the Cairngorms National Park, keeping your eyes peeled for the area’s wealth of wildlife – including golden eagles, wildcats, osprey and much more. In fact, the park is home to 25 per cent of Britain's threatened species. From the Highlands to the coast, Scotland’s splendour continues. Across cliffs, beaches (both shingle and sandy), dunes and marshland, wildlife to spot includes seals, puffins, sea eagles and even dolphins and basking sharks!

Castles

In Scotland, rest assured you are never far away from a castle! There were once around 3,000 of these iconic buildings in the country and many still remain, awaiting your exploration. Renowned Edinburgh Castle in the capital is home to the Crown Jewels and Stone of Destiny, while Balmoral Castle remains a private home to the Royal Family, described by Queen Victoria as her ‘paradise in the Highlands’. Enchanting Cawdor Castle takes you to the romance of the Shakespearean era, featured in his famed play Macbeth, while the stunning Jacobite Eilean Donan castle overlooks postcard-perfect Loch Duich.

Outdoor Pursuits

Visitors to Scotland will be spoilt for choice when it comes to getting active outdoors. Besides the classic pursuits of hiking, mountain-biking and golfing, expect adrenaline-pumping gorge-walking, white-water rafting, and even skiing in the winter season.

Edinburgh

A city of two sides, Edinburgh boasts a charming, medieval Old Town with an imposing castle and cathedral, maze-like streets and quirky shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Across the river, the expertly planned New Town promises splendid boulevards, elegant gardens and sophisticated shops and galleries. Just outside the city, climb the famous Arthur’s Seat, which gives a stunning, panoramic view of the city.

Traditions

Scotland is a nation proud of its longstanding traditions, including the 60 Highland Games that are held across the country every year and involve highland dancing and unique events such as the caber toss and haggis-eating competitions. Take a visit to Loch Ness, the largest body of freshwater in Great Britain, in the hope of catching a glimpse of the famous legend – the Loch Ness Monster. Burns Night, St Andrews Day and Hogmanay unite Scots, and indeed people from across the globe, in spectacular celebrations of Scottish culture. Even if you don’t visit during these festivities, Scotch traditions can always be enjoyed with our exclusive experiences on offer – whether visiting local bagpipe makers or sampling award-winning Scotch malt whisky with an expert.
