Stay in a Scottish castle: Turrets, bed steps, and Mary Queen of Scots

Fonab Castle Hotel, Perthshire

Set in the heart of Scotland, on the banks of Loch Faskally, this turreted castle dates back to 1892, but only opened as a hotel in 2013. Each of the rooms is decorated with an individual feature wall, but check into the penthouse on the fourth floor for high, vaulted wooden ceilings and original panelled walls. The bed is so large that steps are provided to help guests clamber in. All of the rooms promise great views, with the Fonab Brasserie looking straight out onto the loch, just a few steps away.

Foss Road, Pitlochry, Perthshire PH16 5ND (01796 470140; fonabcastlehotel.com). Doubles from £220, half-board.
