jetlogic has introduced Scotland ‘Unhurried’, the first in a new series, designed around hidden gems, quiet moments, and places to stay, offering a multi-stop itinerary that connects the country’s landscapes and historic estates through private aviation.
Combining private aviation with some of Scotland’s hotels and landscapes, the journey offers a seamless way to see the country. Guests can travel by helicopter between locations, turning each transfer into part of the experience itself.
Series One of Scotland, Unhurried: Highlands, Islands & Hideaways features a curated selection of three of Scotland’s most prestigious properties, each offering a distinct sense of place. This exclusive itinerary invites guests to spend two to three nights at each location, with every transition made via a helicopter.
The journey begins in Scotland’s capital. After arriving by private jet or commercial flight, guests are transferred to Prestonfield House. Prestonfield House is a secluded manor set within 20 acres of gardens and parkland at the foot of Arthur’s Seat. The estate stands on the land once granted to the son of a king. Rebuilt in 1687 by Sir William Bruce, architect to the Crown, it has hosted royalty, writers, and Hollywood icons for centuries.
Dining centres around Rhubarb, the estate’s signature restaurant, where seasonal menus include Scotland’s larder, with produce from the estate’s own rhubarb patch. Whether enjoying a romantic afternoon tea by a roaring fire or a final dram in the Whisky Room, Prestonfield House is near the city centre, yet offers the peace and serenity of a country estate.
Featuring the only helipad in the city, guests can depart Prestonfield House on board a private helicopter, climbing over the city skyline, offering a bird’s-eye view of Edinburgh Castle and iconic Forth Road Bridges. As the flight continues west, the landscape transforms from the hills of the Lowlands to the dramatic peaks of the Highlands. Fly over Stirling Castle, sitting atop its volcanic rock, before going past Ben Nevis. See Glencoe and cross over the postcard-perfect Eilean Donan Castle. At the head of a sea loch and at the foot of the Liathach mountain, The Torridon is a sanctuary of wellness without walls.
The estate offers world-class mountain guiding, allowing guests to conquer some of Scotland’s most challenging and rewarding peaks with expert assistance. Guests can also embark on a private boat tour of the loch, or enjoy fly fishing on Loch Damph. For those in search of quieter moments, stargaze beneath some of the darkest skies in Scotland. The Torridon offers a chance to reconnect with the landscape in a way that feels both immersive and deeply restorative.
The 1887 Restaurant offers Michelin-calibre dining that champions the estate’s own farm and kitchen garden. To complement the adventure, guests can indulge in a traditional Highland Afternoon Tea or explore the depths of Scotland’s national drink with a curated Whisky Tasting Experience in the hotel’s award-winning bar, which stocks 365 malts – one for every day of the year.
Departing The Torridon, fly west across Loch Torridon and on to the Isle of Skye, taking in some of Scotland’s most natural landmarks. See the sheer cliffs of Kilt Rock, the drama of Old Man of Storr, and the Fairy Pools. The journey continues over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, before the scenery shifts to the coastlines of Loch Linnhe.
The arrival at the Isle of Eriska comes into view amidst a sea of woodland and quiet coastal waters. Guests are greeted by Scottish hospitality. The Isle of Eriska is an experience, offering a playground for the adventurous and a sanctuary for those seeking tranquillity. Guests can engage in traditional field sports like clay shooting, archery, and falconry, or take to the waters via sea kayak or a private yacht charter. The island’s spa, complete with a pool and bespoke treatments, provides the ultimate wellbeing reset.
The Main House Restaurant serves seasonal menus showcasing Scottish ingredients. The Deck offers a more relaxed experience, with dishes and panoramic views over the lock. The final leg of the journey follows Scotland’s rugged west coast south-east, passing the ruins of Dunstaffnage Castle and the harbour town of Oban.
The journey then turns inland over the remote forests, hills, and lochs of Argyll before reaching the shores of Loch Lomond and the landscapes of central Scotland. Before returning to the capital, guests will enjoy some of Scotland’s best-known landmarks, including the Falkirk Wheel and the towering Kelpies.
Scotland, Unhurried: Highlands, Islands & Hideaways is a curated narrative of Scottish excellence, turning travel time into discovery time. A journey that may have taken five hours by road is transformed into a 60-minute aerial tour of the terrain.
