A Court of Wild Queens

immerse yourself in a fantasy realm...


Fantasy is not an escape... 
it is an invitation home.

There are some invitations you simply don’t refuse.

For five full days, we’re leaving the ordinary world behind and disappearing into the wild, ancient beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where mountains disappear into mist, castles rise from the hills, forests feel enchanted, and you wouldn’t be entirely surprised to discover something with wings watching from the tree line.

Consider this your invitation to step through the veil.

We’ll spend our days living out the fantasy adventures we’ve spent years reading about: learning skills worthy of a certain assassin, dancing as though we’ve been invited to an otherworldly court, dressing in gowns and crowns, and traveling into the Highlands for photoshoots against landscapes that look like they belong on the other side of a portal.

There will be feasting. There will be mischief. There will be beautiful dresses in wildly impractical locations.

There will almost certainly be moments when someone looks around and says, How is this actually our life?

And, of course, there will be secrets.
Because we can’t possibly tell you everything that waits beyond the veil.

This is five days to play again. To be dramatic. To dress like the heroine. To make new friends over stories we love. To wander somewhere ancient and beautiful and allow yourself to believe... just for a little while, that perhaps the worlds we’ve been searching for in books aren’t quite as far away as we thought.

Pack your boots.
Bring the dress.
Answer the call.
To whatever end.

the details

What's included

Steeped in centuries of Highland history, Scatwell sits within the secluded Strathconon Valley, with roots stretching back to the powerful Mackenzie clan and records of the lands dating to 1528. The present Victorian house was built in 1850, incorporating parts believed to belong to an even older drovers’ inn, once connected to the ancient routes used to move cattle through the Highlands. Over the centuries, the estate has passed through the hands of lairds, baronets, innovators and whisky-making families, gathering stories with every generation. Surrounded by historic gardens, woodland and wild Highland landscape, Scatwell feels like exactly the sort of place where old stories, and perhaps a little magic, still linger.

As we will be in a remote area, please keep in mind that Wi-Fi will be limited throughout the house. As it currently stands, Wi-Fi is limited to certain main living areas, though there are plans for improvement before we arrive.
