Wild swimming at the Fife Arms is a bracingly feel-good experience for both mind and body, truly immersing you in nature and introducing you to the benefits of pure Scottish water.
 
With many exhilarating rivers and natural beauty spots located near the hotel, our Ghillie team can organise outings to the best locations for a dip with our experienced local partner, Annie Armstrong of Wild Braemar.
 
Afterwards, don the Fife Arms Dryrobe and eat a ‘chittery bite’ (Scottish for a sweet snack to warm you after a chilly plunge) to banish those post-swim shivers.

‘Ghillie’ is an old Gaelic term for a Highlands attendant who traditionally looked after guests on sporting expeditions. Today, the Ghillie team at the Fife Arms is also dedicated to creating our unforgettable activities and experiences – from guided Munro hikes, off-road 4x4 adventures, and wild swimming excursions, to history tours and tastings at whisky distilleries.
 
You can find them at the Ghillie desk in the lobby, often accompanied by our much loved and equally adventurous hotel dogs, Io and Mac.

Brimming with creativity, the Artist’s Studio is for all those with artistic inclinations. Inspired by the Bloomsbury Group and the interiors of Charleston House, the room was devised and art-directed by Neil Wenman, partner at Hauser & Wirth.
 
The walls, doors, and furniture have all been transformed into canvases for artistic expression, from the hand-painted woodwork in the bathroom to the cabin bed, while paint splashes and artists’ ephemera create the immersive atmosphere of a working studio.
