Bask in the Luxury of Scotland’s Stories Glenapp Castle

Front elevation of a stone castle with turrets and towers.

Glenapp Castle in southwestern Scotland, inspired by Gilded Age luxury, in how a countryside hotel and resort.

My media visit to the Glenapp Castle on the southwestern coast of Scotland is one of the most memorable experiences of my extensive travels. Built in 1870 and meticulously renovated as a luxury hotel in the 1990s, the castle beckons discriminating guests with exquisite gardens and woodlands, haute cuisine delivered with silver service hospitality, activities and excursions befitting the fine country estate it is, and so much more. And maybe Glenapp Castle has a resident ghost.

Read my story, A ‘Downton Abbey’ Experience in Scotland, as it appeared in Loop North News Chicago.

(My itinerary included a session with an expert falconer–the photo below is me just after one of her raptors landed with a thud in my heavily gloved hand. How thrilling!)

Even though I knew the raptor would be landing in my gloved hand, it was still a surprise.
