At The Torridon, Danny Young Lets the Scottish Highlands Do the Talking

The weather changes at least a dozen times during the 24 hours I spend at the Torridon, a remote hotel in the northern Scottish Highlands. At one point, it’s rainy, then the fog rolls in. Later, the sun peeks through the clouds and sends a rainbow arching across the grey-blue water of Loch Torridon. The rain returns, followed by the sun, followed by an even harder rain. But the ever-evolving weather is part of the allure of the 18-room hotel, once the hunting lodge of the Earl of Lovelace and his wife Ada. That grandiose history lingers, although in recent decades the hotel has adapted to the times. The Torridon is now owned and run by Daniel and Rohaise Rose-Bristow, who live on the estate and make updates to the property each winter, including room renovations and the addition of pens for the hotel’s pigs. The Torridon is now the U.K.’s most northerly five-star hotel; from London, it’s accessible by flying to Inverness and driving two hours through the scenic Highlands.
