DEAR GUESTS & FRIENDS OF DUNALASTAIR,
The safety and wellbeing of our valued guests, our wonderful staff and our community here in Kinloch Rannoch continues to be our first priority. While we’ve always been meticulous when it comes to cleaning and housekeeping, we’ve introduced a number of additional measures, some of which you may notice, though most are very discrete. These have been carefully considered; primarily for your safety but also, importantly, to ensure your enjoyment isn’t in any way compromised.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
If you’re planning a great day out with the kids whilst staying at our boutique hotel, a visit to the Highland Folk Open Air Museum is an interactive outdoor adventure the whole family can enjoy.
The mile-long path takes you along a route past a traditional school, houses, and shops plus so much more. There’s even a model cow for the kids to milk.
The setting takes you through life as it was in the Scottish Highlands from the 17th century right through to the modern era.
Time spent in the great outdoors when visiting the Scottish Highlands is time very well spent. There are some amazing hikes and walking trails to explore, all of which allow you to immerse yourself in the wonderful, unspoilt scenery and nature.
Some of the best include the Great Glen Way and the West Highland Way both of which are long-distance walking routes but there are other shorter trails too, perfect for the novice hiker. The best part is that these walking routes are well waymarked and most are traffic-free.
Scotland boasts some of the most magnificent castles in the UK and with around 1,500 castles you will be spoilt for choice. In short, wherever you happen to be, the chances are there’s a majestic castle or castle ruins not very far away when you visit the Highlands.
We’ve created a list of just some of them here which are definitely worth exploring to find out more about
Exploring the Scottish Highlands is a not to be missed adventure at any time of the year. You’ll be greeted with rugged landscapes, a rich history and a mystical allure that’s unique to this unspoilt northern region.
There’s a certain charm no matter what the season with golden autumnal hues during the cooler months to brighter times ahead when heathers and spring flowers burst into bloom as spring arrives.
The Scottish Highlands have attracted visitors to the region for decades. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert loved spending time here and purchased the iconic Balmoral Castle which was to become the royal family’s Highland residence.
The Highlands form an amazing backdrop for romantic getaways as well as breathtaking venues for one-of-a-kind weddings in sumptuously natural surroundings.
