Scenic Scotland Select

07/06/2026

Warmth, craft and a sense of place.

That’s what defines Crerar Hotels — and why they sit at the heart of Scenic Scotland Select.

Each hotel feels rooted: shaped by local character, local produce and the landscapes that surround them. These are places where the welcome is genuine, the details are thoughtful, and the setting does half the storytelling for you.

Our journeys weave through a small collection of Crerar properties, including:

Fonab Castle — a unique five‑star castle hotel in Highland Perthshire

Glencoe Inn — earthy tones, log fires and views to Loch Leven

Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa — calming interiors inspired by the Highlands

Oban Bay Hotel — coastal blues and warm wooden accents

Thainstone House — period charm with Highland textures

Isle of Mull Hotel & Spa — sea‑view suites and island tranquillity

Golf View Hotel & Spa — vast windows framing the Moray Firth

Balmoral Arms — Victorian heritage with contemporary comfort

Dunkeld House Hotel — 280 acres of woodland and riverbank quiet

The Daffodil Hotel — contemporary comfort on the shores of Grasmere & the perfect gateway to Scotland

Introducing the Scenic Scotland Select Discovery

Some journeys deserve to begin softly.

With our new Discovery Chauffeur Option, your Scottish escape starts the moment you arrive — not after a long drive, not at a service station, and not at 4am.

Step off the plane in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness, and your personal chauffeur is waiting.
Your luggage is handled.
Your pace sets the tone.
And Scotland begins to unfold around you.

This isn’t about being driven.
It’s about being looked after.

Your chauffeur is a guide, a storyteller, and a calm presence on the road — someone who knows the hidden corners, the scenic routes, and the gentle rhythms that make Scotland feel alive.

From there, you’re taken straight to the heart of your journey:
hotels chosen for their warmth, atmosphere and soul — places like Oban Bay, Dunkeld House and Thainstone, where the welcome feels personal and the pace feels right.

No feeders.
No rush.
No crowds.
Just Scotland, revealed slowly.

For travellers who value feeling over logistics, and moments over miles, the Discovery Chauffeur Option is the most personal way to experience Scenic Scotland Select.

Your Scotland.
Your pace.
Your chauffeur.
Where Scotland Feels Personal.

This week’s Moneypenny Dispatch feels like a map quietly lighting up.

The response to our Dunkeld campaign has grown into something remarkable — 187 enquiries, each one a small signal pointing north. The Highlands, the Borders, the quiet spaces in between… all forming a pattern we can no longer ignore.

Alongside this, the week has carried its own gentle shifts: conversations that linger, farewells marked with respect, and the first outlines of what may become a dedicated Scottish division for Scenic Scotland Select.
