is a charmingly redesigned, very old Highland Cottage with 3ft thick stone walls, which stands, detached, in its own pretty garden, just 100 yards from the River Cannich (fishing available) on the very edge of the small village of Cannich - gateway to the stupendously lovely Glen Affric - 12 miles west of Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness.

Right on the sea front in the picturesque little highland village of Applecross, with wonderful views across to Raasay and Skye, the Old Post Office is a delightful new conversion for two people, snug and comfortable, which will be a firm favourite all year round.

In a peaceful rural situation just half an hour from St Andrews and 40 minutes drive from Edinburgh. Converted with great flair and imagination, it is a perfect base from which to explore the beaches, golf courses and historic attractions of this most lovely area of Scotland.

Is a delightful, small, very old traditional cottage on the island of Eilean Shona between Mull and Skye (reached by private launch) which has just been completely gutted and renovated into a very charming hideaway retreat.

is one of five simple (but modernised) original Estate cottages on Eilean Shona which is a tiny gem of an island, fabulously set at the entrance to Loch Moidart on the spectacular West Coast of Scotland between the Islands of Mull and Skye. It retains the traditional wood-panelled interior of Victorian days and stands on its own, higher up in woodlands, but with a lovely view onto Loch Moidart and the small islands.
