Dun Aluinn's Beyond the Tartan – A Journey into the Heart of the Highlands

Dun Aluinn, an exceptional private house set amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands, has unveiled its new experience: Beyond the Tartan – A Journey into the Heart of the Highlands.

This brand-new three-night itinerary seamlessly blends contemporary luxury with an authentic connection to Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and striking landscapes.

Guests will enjoy a deep cultural immersion in Aberfeldy, meeting the locals who are shaping the region’s future—from innovative craftsmen at the forefront of Scotland’s design renaissance to eco-conscious conservationists dedicated to preserving its wild beauty.
