Scottish Highlands Location

Set alongside seven miles of private beach in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, Ackergill Tower may be remote but it’s also easily accessible. The grand 3,000 acre private estate includes a heart-shaped garden, sundial lawn and walled garden. It’s a beautiful contrast to the rugged coastline and seven glorious miles of private beach the tower overlooks.

Local activities include speedboat rides, archery, clay pigeon shooting and fishing adventures in the private loch and bothy. You could also look out for local wildlife, from birds of prey to otters and seals. The views are quite simply breath-taking.

The Treehouse

In the castle grounds there is a wonderful treehouse, carved into a secluded 150-year old sycamore tree. A haven of peace and tranquility with 180 degree views of the surrounding woodland. Luxuriously furnished, warm and comfortable, the treehouse features a large circular bath and sumptuous 7ft round bed with a glass ceiling above, from where you can gaze up at the stars shining through the branches. At certain times of the year you can even drift off to sleep as the remarkable northern lights dance in the night sky above you.
