Escape to The Brewers Cottage: A Highland Sanctuary

Step into a story at The Brewers Cottage....

Once the home of infamous illicit distiller John Fraser, this historic retreat has captivated us with its peaceful, old-world energy since the moment we arrived in 2012. 

..... Now, we invite you to experience the magic of the Scottish Highlands for yourself in a place where history and nature truly meet.

Nestled on the edge of the historic conservation village of Tomich, the cottage sits within the breath-taking Glen Affric—famously known as "The Glen of a Thousand Whispers." 

As a National Nature Reserve and a key part of the Affric Highlands rewilding project, this landscape of ancient Caledonian forests, lochs, and mountains is a haven for Scotland’s most iconic species. Thanks to our ongoing habitat improvements, you can watch badgers, Red Squirrels, and Pine Martens from the comfort of the cottage, while outside Golden Eagles and Ospreys soar overhead.

Beyond the wildlife, the local heritage is just as rich....

Explore the charming Victorian model village of Tomich or wander 1.5 miles west to the atmospheric, derelict ruins of Guisachan House, the former home of Lord and Lady Tweedmouth. The cottage itself holds its own secrets of illicit distilling, which you can uncover on our History page.

Whether you are seeking rugged outdoor adventure or a quiet sanctuary to escape the pressures of the modern world, The Brewers Cottage is the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with nature. 

Follow our wild visitors on Facebook (The Brewers Cottage Holiday Let) and Instagram (@thebrewerscottage) to see the magic for yourself.
