          As the only habitable castle
        
        
          on the southern banks of
        
        
          Loch Ness, Aldourie deserves
        
        
          its five-star rating. After all,
        
        
          how many properties have
        
        
          13 en-suite bedrooms and
        
        
          grounds spanning 500 acres
        
        
          of woodland, parkland and
        
        
          gardens? From the moment
        
        
          you cross the threshold, you
        
        
          could be forgiven for thinking
        
        
          you’ve been transposed to the
        
        
          17th century. This traditional
        
        
          Scottish Baronial castle is
        
        
          furnished, as you would expect,
        
        
          in the most palatial of fashions
        
        
          and is available to rent for
        
        
          holidays or private corporate
        
        
          events. In addition to the library,
        
        
          visitors can enjoy relaxing in
        
        
          the dining room or the billiards
        
        
          room. Located just five miles
        
        
          from Inverness, the estate has
        
        
          in recent years undergone
        
        
          a £10 million development.
        
        
          With ancient stone fireplaces,
        
        
          hidden medieval doors, ornate
        
        
          ornaments and baroque wall
        
        
          hangings, the grandeur of the
        
        
          building is simply breathtaking.
        
        
          Available for a day, a week, or
        
        
          even a month at a time, Aldourie
        
        
          Estate can be a captivating
        
        
          bolt-hole or a stately corporate
        
        
          venue. When you’ve taken in
        
        
          all the castle has to offer, why
        
        
          not explore the private grounds
        
        
          and venture down to the pier
        
        
          on the edge of Scotland’s most
        
        
          famous loch?
