Highland Reset is about getting outside, slowing the pace and making the most of Scotland in winter.
Journey through Dunkeld and into Highland Perthshire, where woodland walks, quiet roads and open landscapes set the pace. Walk through forests and glens. Brave the cold Highland water. Warm up in a wood-fired sauna. Then retreat to The Fortingall for good food, cosy fires and an evening with nowhere else to be.
Behind the wheel of your Defender, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace, with the details taken care of before you arrive.
Three days. Two nights. Cold water, hot saunas and a proper Highland reset.
There is something particularly good about getting properly cold when you know warmth is waiting.
On your second day, head to Wild Ember Bothy on Loch Tay. Take a bracing dip in the Highland water before retreating to the heat of a wood-fired sauna.
No complicated wellness programme. Just cold water, hot wood, fresh air and the landscape around you.

Your second morning begins with a guided hike through Highland Perthshire, taking you through forests, glens and open countryside.
With someone else leading the way, all you need to do is pull on your boots, step outside and enjoy the landscape.
The Fortingall, Glen Lyon
Tucked away at the entrance to Glen Lyon, The Fortingall is a charming Highland hotel surrounded by mountains, glens and some of Perthshire’s most beautiful countryside.
Recently brought under new ownership and beautifully refurbished, the historic hotel has been given a fresh lease of life, combining stylish new interiors with its original Highland character.
Expect cosy fires, great food and warm Scottish hospitality after a day spent outside.

We had a great time spending 4 nights camping with Nomadic, visiting Cullen and Fortrose and then spending a couple of nights in the Cairngorms. The team were great, the car was an almost brand new Defender 110 with loads of space, and Nomadic provide all the kit you need and more (which was all high quality and in as new condition). Highly recommend as a great way of travelling around Scotland.
