Our Story

We appreciate Heritage, Adventures & Genuine connections

For over two decades, The Tannochbrae has been a cherished part of our family’s heritage.  It was built-in 1872 and has an intriguing history. 

Recently, we embarked on a journey to honour its 150-year-old legacy with a significant renovation, breathing new life into this traditional establishment.  

As passionate adventurers, travellers & whisky enthusiasts we were drawn by the allure of Dufftown’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes.  Supporting the family business we embarked on a journey to create a haven where luxury meets tradition & authenticity. 

We understand the importance of heritage and genuine connections. Our vision is to offer our guests a  discerning stay, blending modern comforts with a timeless traditional home.

From exploring historic distilleries to hiking scenic trails, to a long soak in the tub, every moment at The Tannochbrae can be infused with the spirit of adventure and the warmth of home.

We invite you to enjoy The Tannochbrae for. your next Whisky adventure, Milestone Celebration Trip, Adventures Galore or just to get away from it all.  Our Scottish Hospitality is here to assist or provide the privacy you desire. 

We look forward to hosting for you and being the home from which you can enjoy the beauty and tastes of Moray Speyside in Scoltand.
