We are completely hooked on the Celebrity Traitors, not just for the intrigue and plotting INside the Castle, but for the fabulous Highland scenery OUTside too.
Filming for the TV series is done all around Embo House's home turf, so we love recognising places!

The great news is that over the Autumn, Winter and Spring, guests who book a 3-night stay at luxurious Embo House, can add a Traitors experience, run by our very own "Victoria Winkleton" FOR FREE!

Embo House is easy to get to from all over the UK, as it is just an hour from Inverness airport, with daily flights from most UK regional airports.

Come on - we DARE you!

☀️ Two days of glorious sunshine in Dornoch… and suddenly we’re questioning everything we’ve ever heard about Highland weather.

Blue skies, golden light and that crisp Highland air. Consider the myth officially dispelled. 😉

But what we're really excited about is that some of its most exciting backdrops are right here on our doorstep.

From breathtaking Highland landscapes to a location that fans of the show will instantly recognise, our latest blog takes a closer look at the Dornoch connection. 👀

And if that's not enough, Dornoch has it's very own dark history, that gives the show a run for its money! 😱

If you’ve been watching the series, you’ll definitely want to know more. And if you haven’t… this might just tempt you! 😉
