Kinloch Lodge

Background

It was sold in 1919 as part of the massive land disposal by the Duke of Sutherland at the end of the Great War. The Kinloch Estate extends to nearly 20,000 acres and rises from sea level at the Kyle of Tongue to over 3,000 feet on Ben Hope, the most northerly Munro.[1]

The lodge was created as a classical Scottish sporting and hunting estate and is now renovated and transformed into a hotel.

In 2011, it was bought and renovated by a Danish businessman Anders Holch Povlsen. Kinloch is a part of Wildland Ltd which is one of the biggest nature conservation projects in the Scottish Highlands.[2]
