A reknowned highland restaurant and a sporty Lotus.

For that special weekend why not take to the Highlands in a modern but classic sports car?

After collecting your car from Glasgow or Edinburgh, your route will take you through Perthshire and then into the heart of the Highlands. A chance to appreciate the open roads of rural Scotland

Your hotel

This delightful family-run 'restaurant with rooms' retains the character and many original features of the 19th century watermill from which it was converted. Delicious award-winning fare featuring fresh seasonal produce is served in the fire-lit oak-beamed restaurant, followed by a dram of your favourite malt in one of two cosy lounges. The mill is set in four acres of riverside grounds teeming with red squirrels and wild flowers - the bedrooms overlook either the forest canopy or the mill stream which lulls you off to sleep as it babbles over the rocks below. Rated by the AA as one of the top 200 places to stay in the UK, and by the Good Food Guide as one of the six best places to eat in the Highlands, this is a wonderful base from which to explore the Cairngorms.

What to see and do

The village of Kingussie is a great touring centre for the stunning Cairngorm National Park and the surrounding highland landscape of majestic mountains, rivers and lochs. The hotel is a mine of information on local walks and excursions, several beginning in and around the village itself. The towns of Aviemore and Grantown on Spey are within easy reach, as are the glorious sandy beaches of the Moray coast and the myriad distilleries of Speyside.Or head west into Glen Laggan, the setting for Monarch of the Glen TV series.
