A truly green hotel in Scotland

We are a green and sustainable hotel. Using the natural resources that surround the hotel, as well as disused space and buildings, we produce all of our own heat and electricity.

In 2012, we constructed our very own hydro system that uses the natural flow of water from Loch Brandy. The hydro allows to create enough electricity to power the hotel, the steading and all of the lodges. On good days, we produce an excess that can be sold to the National Grid. We are currently investigating the possibility of generating our own power for when we have a power cut, as unfortunately we still don’t escape these!

A couple of years later in 2014 we recognised there was an opportunity to produce our own heat via a Heizomat Biomass Boiler. This boiler uses wood from trees that are grown only 3 to 4 miles from the hotel and not only heats the hotel, but also the steading, our lodges and our staff housing. So effectively we are completely green!
