SCOTLAND - INVERLOCHY CASTLE

Inverlochy Castle was built in 1863 by the first Lord Abinger, near the site of the original 13th century fortress. Inverlochy's reputation for gracious hospitality goes back as far as Queen Victoria's visit in the Autumn of 1873. Accompanied by her trusted ghillie John Brown, Victoria found great solace in the Castle and its breathtaking surroundings where cares seemed to just melt away.

So enchanted was Victoria with Inverlochy, it has been said that this area may have become the Royal Family's favoured Highland retreat, had Balmoral not already come to her attention.

The hotel has 17 bedrooms, all of which have a private bathroom. Each has it's own unique design and character, and enjoy splendid views of the grounds and surrounding mountains.

"Only in one of the world's best hotels can you enjoy comfort and luxury like this."
