  • Nestled within 7,000 acres of remote Scottish countryside, Lagafater Lodge presents an extraordinary opportunity to experience the antiquated grandeur of a traditional Edwardian shooting lodge. This wonderful property perfectly combines period features with contemporary amenities, offering an ideal setting for family gatherings and group retreats.

    The lodge accommodates fifteen guests across ten comfortable bedrooms, comprising three double rooms, two twin rooms, one flexible double/twin arrangement, and four single rooms.
