Shepherd’s hut holidays in Scotland

The wild Scottish landscape feels even more expansive when viewed from a snug little shepherd’s hut. Our humble huts hark back to a simpler, pastoral way of life, but with all the amenities (and heat, this is Scotland) you need for a relaxing glamping break. You’ll find cosy sleeping nooks, wood burners and fairy-lit verandas, but most importantly you’ll be totally immersed in the majesty of nature. Perched among the rugged mountains, you’re likely to see as many Highland cattle and red deer as flocks of sheep.
