Kingussie, Cairngorms
A Scandinavian-Scottish farmhouse in the Cairngorms, where the design is pared back and the landscape is not. Owned by Wildland, it is part of a vast project to restore the Highlands to their natural state.
Rooms are calm and simple, meals are communal and delicious, and the silence is profound. Dogs are welcome to share the hill walks.
