Scotland: Prince William and Princess Kate are marking their 14th wedding anniversary with a quiet getaway to the Isle of Mull, embracing the growing trend of “bothy” retreats—simple, rustic cottages that have become the latest fashion in remote travel.
According to The Times, the royal couple is staying in a self-catering cottage on Scotland’s fourth-largest island, known for its stunning Atlantic rainforest and ancient oak woodlands. Their visit included a stop at Ardura Community Forest and dinner at Croft 3, a stylish restaurant and working croft offering locally inspired dishes like haggis with pickled fennel and a bloody mary crab bisque.
Their trip reflects the rising appeal of the Scottish isles as a luxury escape with a back-to-nature vibe—where the rougher the retreat, the more exclusive it seems.
