A Famous Filming Location, Available for Let: Glenfeshie Estate and Cottages in Scotland

January 25, 2019

If the Glenfeshie Estate looks familiar, that’s probably because, realize it or not, you’ve seen it before. Over the past few years, it’s played the part of Balmoral Castle in Netflix’s The Crown, and served as backdrop for the iconic scene in The Queen where a bereaved Queen Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), alone in the Scottish Highlands, spots a stag. Owned by Wildland—the same conservationist owners behind Killiehuntly Estate, another of our favorites, and several others throughout the Scottish countryside—the rambling lodge and cottages are available for nightly and weekly stays. Join us for a walk through.

The new interiors mix “classic Scandinavian furniture with elements of the original cottage.”

Above: Coire Domhain, the second cottage on the property, on the banks of the River Feshie, is more formally appointed, in traditional Highland style., with tongue-and-groove walls, seagrass mats, and tartan curtains. “The muted color palette of greens and greys mirrors the far-reaching views of the magnificent landscape,” the proprietors say.
