Relax in the nature of Scotland: 3 to 4 day escape
Heard about the stunning hills, glens and nature of Scotland but time pressured? We have just the very tour for you below - carefully curated for those with limited time and we’re well under an hour from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
You’ll experience an immersion into Scotland’s heritage and wildlife and just be in touch if you’d like to delve a little deeper into any aspect and we can tailor it to your interests - previous guests have requested bat safaris, bug vaccing to name a few wishes.
Day 1 eg Thursday
Arrival: to Brucefield Estate (by bicycle, car, train). Any guests arriving by public transport will receive a complementary no-dig tree planting session (can be done at any time over the next couple of days).
Dine like a local and experience vibrant colour and taste with Anna’s carefully curated menu at The Aviary in the pretty village of Dollar (15 mins away)
Day 2
Morning: wake up to your very own tailored yoga session in your accommodation. Before your visit, Jemma of The Yoga Hut Fife will have created a bespoke session for you based on your requirements.
Afternoon: now feeling fully refreshed, breathe in the scent of Norway spruce pine needles, roll your hand over the sumptuous mosses on our guided History & Wildlife Tour. You’ll discover bird song, fungi and 300-yr old trees deep in the forest.
Evening: sample the delicacies brought to you by private chef Douglas McNair. All freshly prepared including delicious sauces cook your dinner under the stars on your firepit, with the comfort of knowing as many of the ingredients as possible are sourced within a 15 mile radius of the estate.
Day 3
Morning: Take a walk around Scotland’s best example of a 17th/16th century royal burgh town in Culross. Crow-stepped gables, cobble-stoned streets and often used as a filmset location this village and its fine Palace are not to be missed.
Afternoon: the magic of the forest awaits you with a personalised Birch Disc Trail hung with red ribbons for you to collect as you make your way to a flaming firepit and picnic hamper from Polly's Pantry.
Whether it’s to pop the big question, or simply dine outdoors this will be an evening you won’t forget - and the birch discs will be your keepsake
