Health is Wealth – Rejuvunation in Scotland

30th June 2025

In today’s fast-paced world, making space for rest has never been more important. The old saying “health is wealth” comes to mind when we think about mental and physical well-being and the effect they have on our quality of life. Scotland’s fresh and quiet wilderness is the perfect place to reset and take a break from life’s responsibilities. Breathe the pure Highland air, swim in our wild waters, have a digital detox, and recuperate with home-cooked meals made with locally grown ingredients. As experts in R&R, our team can craft you the perfect reset in Scotland from start to finish. Here are a few places worth highlighting to give you some inspiration:

West Coast Wellness

The effects of yoga, cold plunging and sauna have been widely reported to be greatly beneficial for mental and physical well-being. On the tranquil shores of Loch Fyne, you will find West Coast Wellness’ stunning glass dome yoga studio. The beautiful setting allows you to connect with nature during your yoga practice, in all weather conditions, with incredible views over the forest and the loch. After, you can visit the lochside sauna for a cold plunge, followed by a warm-up for an active recovery.

Comrie Croft

Eating food from the earth, which is grown locally and not heavily processed, is widely considered one of the healthiest ways to live. Comrie Croft is an inspiring result of community action for the benefit of the land and the people. The croft is home to a plethora of mountain biking trails to explore, as well as hikes and opportunities for river swimming. Perhaps best of all, you can eat what is grown in the large market garden on site, with produce available from the farm shop and delicious meals from the tea room. The relaxed and laid-back atmosphere encourages people to slow down and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Wild Braemar

Wild swimming can be a great way to reconnect with yourself, especially when feeling preoccupied or distracted. Enjoy the feeling of weightlessness in the water as you take in the views from a new perspective. Wild Braemar curates guided swims that immerse you in the lochs and rivers of the Cairngorms National Park. This practice invigorates the body and sharpens the mind and spirit, offering a bracing connection to the elements in a totally wild setting.

Hendersons Restaurant

In the lovely leafy area of Bruntsfield in Edinburgh, Hendersons builds on a legacy that began back in 1962. The original Hendersons Restaurant provided fresh, organic, vegetarian food for the people of Edinburgh until 2020. This new iteration of Hendersons was created by Barrie Henderson, the grandson of the original founder and stays true to the ethos of the name. The owners are committed to serving healthy, inventive dishes with a focus on sustainability, seasonality, and great taste, promoting a healthy relationship with our food, and have been featured in the Michelin Guide. Nourishment is key to rest and recovery from a busy schedule, and it eases the mind. Knowing that your meal has been lovingly prepared with the highest quality ingredients by an engaged and passionate restaurant is always going to be good for the soul.

Glen Dye Cabins & Cottages

If you dream of sleeping amongst the forest in a wood cabin, but with a little more luxury, Glen Dye Cabins & Cottages is the place for you. Their accommodations are full of character and charm and have all the modern comforts you would expect. During your stay, you can engage in a whole host of activities from willow weaving and flower arranging to fishing and bushcraft. Take a break from the usual routine and try something new; you may be surprised at how much fun you can have.
