The Invergarry is a glorious retreat in the Scottish Highlands.  Luxurious, private and contemporary, it's an exquisite bolthole, designed just for two, complete with a private hot tub and surrounded by magical scenery.  Once a gardener`s cottage in the early 1900s, the Invergarry has been imaginatively converted into a sumptuous retreat combining original features with modern ones, and offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
