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.

SCOTLAND’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS INDEPENDENT STORE
The House of Bruar is the UK’s leading independent country clothing destination, standing at the gateway to the
Highlands in beautiful rural Perthshire. Inspired by the rich tapestry of colours and textures around our Highland
home, we have created our own exclusive range of contemporary country classics in highest quality materials.
Luxury natural fibres lie at the heart of our collection, with lambswool, angora, merino and of course pure
cashmere all represented in a rich spectrum of colours from lush greens and russet reds to earthy browns and
airy sky blues. All the colours of Scotland’s unique landscape are conjured in our Knitwear Hall - the largest
in Great Britain - with a range of designs to suit all tastes.
Our knitwear collection is complemented by an impressive selection of pure new wool British tweeds and
plaids which mix authentic traditional designs with new and original offerings that bring fresh and vibrant
possibilities to the world of country clothing, providing everything needed for the complete country wardrobe.
Alongside our own original creations you’ll find specially selected items from the world’s finest clothing
brands, including Adini, Gardeur, Masai, Schoffel, Levi’s and Brax, not to mention the largest selection of
Barbour goods to be found anywhere in the UK.
Country sports are another area in which we excel, with our range featuring everything from traditional
sporting tweeds to cutting-edge technical garments from the likes of Aigle, The North Face, Harkila,
Patagonia and Musto. Anglers have their own dedicated department in the Fishing Shop, where our expert
staff can help with all the advice and equipment you need - you can even test potential purchases on the
nearby River Garry to get a feel for how they work in practice.
Move through into our contemporary rural art Gallery, which is home to stunning paintings and wonderfully
evocative sculptures from both established and up-and-coming artists with a strong Scottish connection.
Whether you’re looking to buy or browse, we’re sure you’ll be impressed by the cascade of forms and

ideas for home and garden. From cashmere throws to pet accessories, luxury tableware to traditional children’s
toys, we have everything the well-appointed country home could possibly require.
Gifts galore reside in our Present Shop, where a spectacular selection of handmade and hand-finished goods can
help bring joy to any special event or occasion. We can even help you produce a bespoke wedding list to ensure
everything runs smoothly for your big day. The highlights of our collection can be found in our yearly Handmade Gift

country style direct to your door. New to the store this year is The Jewel in the Crown, our dazzling jewellery shop

winning Butchery serves handmade pies, burgers and sausages alongside prime cuts of quality meats sourced

YOUR RIDE
DRIVING THROUGH SCOTLAND
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.
