Remote Retreats
Escape to a hame away from hame
Words by Alyn Griffiths
Scotland is blessed with many truly wild and remote places, where it is possible to find yourself completely alone in the midst of epic, empty landscapes. Spending time in these amazing places gives us a chance to slow down, relax and reconnect with what is important; nature, friends, family or even ourselves.
Opting to holiday somewhere remote often means forgoing the conveniences we have become accustomed to in our everyday lives. Unlike on a city break or a trip to a resort, there might not be a coffee shop around the corner or an all-night casino to entertain us into the wee hours. A remote stay does, however, offer benefits that bustling cities or lively resorts cannot, including ample time to rest and think.
