Black Isle Yurts

At Black Isle Yurts, a perfect place for Glamping in the Scottish Highlands, we offer self-catering holidays with a difference. All our individually hand-built yurts are set in our own private woodland, an exclusive, eco-sensitive wild-glamping site, giving you complete privacy and tranquillity.

Combined with the high quality, modern facilities at our Hub you are sure to have an exceptionally comfortable stay with us.

Black Isle Yurts are close to the beautiful, historic villages of Cromarty, Fortrose and Rosemarkie, only 30 mins drive from of Inverness. It's a prefect location for glamping in the Scottish Highlands. Here you’ll get close to nature in an area of great bio-diversity. There are spectacular cliff top views, as well as direct access to a dramatic coastline dotted with caves and secluded sandy beaches.

Although the Black Isle is not really an island, there is plenty of coast to explore, and the region’s most residents, its bottlenose dolphins, can be seen frolicking in the Moray Firth and at nearby Chanonry Point.

Our hand-built yurts are based on traditional designs from Central Asia, where the sturdy structures have been used for thousands of years by nomadic people. We have changed the traditional felt outer shell to a more durable waterproof canvas to take account of Scotland’s climate, but they retain their snug and cosy feel, especially when the wood burning stove is lit. All our yurts also have windows to allow you to enjoy the natural light and the beautiful surroundings.

Each Yurt is unique. Lovingly hand built and individually decorated and furnished for a comfortable, relaxing break So whether its a few days or a few weeks.

Each yurt is fully furnished and equipped, to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable:

• A wood burning stove and a basket of firewood
• Comfy beds, duvets, pillows, bed linen and towels
• Table and chairs
• Two hob gas cooker/grill with pots, pans and a kettle
• Cutlery and crockery
• A lockable door
• An outdoor seating area (picnic bench or similar)

As the yurts are off-grid, they are free from mains power and water supply. Instead, we provide solar/hand powered lighting units and a refillable container of fresh water.

Our fantastic Hub is well equipped with showers, toilets and washing up facilities. It’s located just a few minutes walk from your yurt and here you can also enjoy breath-taking views over the Moray Firth. We also have baby-changing facilities in a special, accessible toilet and shower-room.

The Black Isle is not only one of the most historic and the most beautiful areas of Scotland (in our opinion!). It is also one of the driest, sunniest parts of Scotland, famed for its micro-climate and, thankfully, midges are rare! If you are considering Glamping in the Scottish Highlands, we are in an ideal spot.
