Scene
Victorian country house set on 10 acres of gardens and woodlands, with atmospheric, old-world interiors
The Pine Trees Hotel is housed in a classic Scottish country
house that dates to 1892, surrounded by 10 acres of lovely gardens
and woodlands. Interiors are bright and inviting, with traditional decor that
evokes old-world ambience. The spacious lounge resembles a
refined, atmospheric living room of another era, full of comfortable leather
couches and old books lining wooden shelves. Rich Oriental rugs in crimson and
burgundy hues complement couches of the same shades and pair well with wooden
furnishings and wainscoting. A beautiful, large fireplace accentuates the
coziness of the space. The restaurant and bar are similarly furnished, with maroon
hues paired with wooden furniture and rich decorative details like lovely
ceiling moldings and chandeliers. The bar has a charming adjoining lounge with
a marble fireplace and comfortable seating scattered about in rich plum and
burgundy shades.
