Glamping in the Scottish Highlands

It’s easy to find your wild in the vast expanse of the Scottish Highlands. If you live in an urban area, the sheer amount of open space will blow your mind. Not to mention the crisp, fresh air inhaled in deep lungfuls as you stride through secluded glens and scramble up rugged mountains, while distant bagpipes play a haunting melody (OK, there aren’t always bagpipes playing in Scotland). Connect to the untamed landscape with a unique immediacy in one of our glamping places that offer the best of both worlds – cosy luxury and doorstep access to the epic scenery. Without another soul in sight.

Why choose glamping in Scotland?

Scotland isn’t a small place and finding the perfect place to stay can feel pretty daunting. So, we’ll do the legwork for you. We visit and inspect every one of our glamping places in Scotland to make sure they’ve got the vital ingredients we know you love – nature, adventure and relaxation. We sample the local whiskeys, barbeque on the deck, test the hot tubs, walk to the local pub and hike the nature trails — all to make sure your experience is pure magic.
