1 FOR THE MOTOR ENTHUSIAST
The Torridon: Location, location… This Victorian former hunting lodge in the Scottish Highlands certainly has it, sitting in 58 acres of parkland on the edge of a glittering sea loch, encircled by moutains. What’s inside isn’t bad either, with cosy lounges and bars and exquisite food to suit your mood – fine dining or casual. You won’t be short of things to do. The hotel can arrange adventures, such as taking a classic Morgan car for a spin around part of the North Coast 500. It’s one of the most spectacular driving routes in the world, with sightseeing enroute, like Dunrobin Castle with its gardens inspired by Versailles, and the woodland waterfalls of the Fairy Glen at Rosemarkie. Other options include munro baggings walks and stargazing with a qualified astronomer. The night skies here are truly magical. → thetorridon.com
