Eagle Brae

An architect-minded Highland estate where log cabins, sauna, and deer at the patio door conspire to make you stay longer than planned.

Eagle Brae sits in the Highland glen above Struy village, a remote pocket of Inverness-shire that trades road noise for red deer grazing past your kitchen window. The log cabins here are the kind of thing you'd expect from a Scandinavian design magazine: handcrafted, fully equipped, and considered down to the last kitchen utensil, so you can cook properly without thinking about what you forgot to pack.

The scale is intimate and deliberately unhurried. Mike, Pawana, and their team are present and engaged without being intrusive, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds. The surrounding estate is organised for people who want to do things: walking routes from the door, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, and on-site massages. Or nothing at all, since the sauna and the view will fill a long afternoon without effort.

Wildlife is an unofficial feature. Deer appear regularly at the cabins, and the birdlife in this part of the Highlands is serious enough to hold your attention without a pair of binoculars. The large six-bed cabin, Aquila, suits groups marking an occasion; smaller cabins work for two people who want exactly this.

Before you book

Remote Highland location: the drive in from Inverness takes roughly an hour on increasingly rural roads.
Signal and connectivity are limited in the glen, so plan any remote-working needs before arrival.

“One of the most thoroughly realised glamping estates in Scotland, with owner care that earns its reputation and a Highland setting that rewards the drive.”
