While there are many holiday stays to choose from in rural Scotland, only a few will meet the demands of discerning architecture & interior design lovers. Here are seven of the finest & most beautifully furnished Scottish nature retreats where you can enjoy the wilderness outdoors & exquisite design indoors.
Westside Woodshed
Just a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh is the Pentland Hills Regional Park, a 20-mile long, 30-square-mile range of hills that stretch over the Scottish counties of South Lanarkshire, Midlothian, & the Scottish Borders. Set within the Park is a 3,000-acre farmland estate called Eastside, where you can rent the Westside Woodshed – a snug holiday cottage with modern, minimalist interiors.
The 544-square-foot cottage has a double-height, open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area with walls and ceilings of cross-laminated timber and polished concrete floors. From the living area, a sky-lit staircase leads up to a mezzanine sleeping loft with an antique dresser and wardrobe, a dreamy king-sized bed, and armchair made to lounge in while looking out the window towards the sheep-dotted hills.
