Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh slept here. Charlie Chaplin, too. So did Liam Neeson, Sean Connery, J.K. Rowling, and the cast of the Harry Potter movies.
Refined Inverlochy Castle, a member of Relais & Chateaux as well as Connoisseurs Scotland, was built in 1863 as a private home for Lord Abinger on a 500-acre spread in the foothills of Ben Nevis, Scotland's tallest mountain.
Today it boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant, gracious rooms, a lake, and acres for couples to roam on a romantic stroll.
Bespoke weddings are a specialty here, often capped with a fireworks display over the lake. And should the couple wish the accompaniment of a bag piper, that too can be arranged.
