IF you're looking for "get away from it all", you've struck gold with this former hunting lodge of the MacDonald clan, steeped in history and tucked away in a corner of the misty isle.
IT may be just 10 miles away from busy Perth city centre, but Ballathie House Hotel is worlds apart within its peaceful and serene surroundings. Described as being a country house retreat for generations of guests, that is certainly true and is obvious from the moment you arrive in the grounds of this secluded estate that has even hosted royalty.

FORGET any misgivings that a private members' club in the heart of Edinburgh's upmarket New Town would be a staid and stuffy place to spend a couple of nights - nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact the Royal Scots Club in Abercromby Place - just a few minutes' stroll from Princes Street - is a gem of a hotel complex in a central location of quiet Georgian splendour.

STONEFIELD Castle is an impressive mansion house in a stunning location on the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll.
And as a four-star hotel, it lives up to the first impressions of the striking turreted building which comes into view following the anticipation of the winding drive along the private entrance road through woodland and extensive gardens.

FOR a romantic or get-away-from-it-all break, the setting of the Taychreggan Hotel in Argyll is truly awesome.
A 35-minute drive from Oban and nestling in its own 40-acres of garden and woodland right on the shoreline of Loch Awe, the upmarket four-star hotel oozes class and comfort, while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere.
