THE richest man in Scotland has restored three private, luxury holiday homes for rent in a popular beauty spot.
Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen and his company, WildLands, have restored the homes on the shores of Loch Ness.
Situated on the 500-acre Aldourie Estate, the Bestseller CEO will charge holidaymakers wishing to stay in the properties prices ranging from £470 to £720.
Guests can exclusively rent the two-bedroom Gatehouse Cottage, a miniature version of the 400-year-old Aldourie Castle, for £470 per night, the cheapest of Povlsen and WildLands’s latest offerings.
Wildlands said ideas for renovating the cottage came from an “original set of 19th-century drawings from the castle’s archives”, leading to it being dubbed the “miniature castle”.
Three-bedroom Garden Cottage is also available for short-term stays. Situated within the estate’s walled garden, visits are priced at £500 per night.
The most expensive offering is a revamped manse named Tigh Na Coille Cottage, setting guests back a whopping £720 per night. The four-bedroom property reportedly boasts “sweeping views” of Loch Ness and Aldourie Castle and includes two lounges and a dining room.
The three properties are the latest refurbishment projects by Povlsen and his company, following the restoration of Factor’s Cottage and Ivy Cottage.
Povlsen purchased the castle, which also underwent renovations, and grounds back in 2015 for £15 million.
The Danish billionaire, who is the largest shareholder in fast fashion retailer Asos, owns more than 220,000 acres of land across the country.
Including the Aldourie Estate, Povlsen also owns estates in Sutherland and the Cairngorms.
He was named the richest person in Scotland in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List after his fortune grew by £974m, making him now worth £7.7 billion.
