Killiehuntly: Moody Lodgings by a Danish Billionaire in Scotland

On 4,000 bucolic acres in Cairngorms National Park in Scotland sits the circa-1800 farmhouse and cottages of the Killiehuntly estate. To make the farmhouse habitable, the owner commissioned architect Nicholas Groves-Raines, a specialist in refurbishing old buildings, and the interiors are a marriage between masculine Scottish decor and the owners' native Denmark. Take a look.

A work by Danish artist Trine Søndergaard hangs in the foyer.

Some design elements—like sheepskin throws—nod to both Scandinavian and Scottish design.

Guests can socialize at the main dining table, or opt for one of several smaller seating areas, should you want to take your dinner in private.

Killiehuntly grows fruits and vegetables in its own organic garden and greenhouse.

All rooms at Killiehuntly have queen-size beds and most have private baths.

The Alder room is the largest in the farmhouse, and has a four-poster bed with a writing desk, lounge chair, and en suite bathroom.
