Scotland,

united Kingdom

Don’t let the doom and gloom of Brexit put you off from visiting
Scotland, an hour’s flight from London and home to some of the
most stunning scenery in the British Isles. Recent years have
seen significant investment in luxury accommodation from
Borthwick Castle just outside Edinburgh to the highland hotels
of Killiehuntly Farmhouse or The Fife Arms, “Scotland’s Hottest

Hotel.” Country pursuits have been a long time favourite of
visitors to Scotland and whisky tasting at the Macallan Estate or
at Lindores Abbey Distillery is a must. With the pound falling to
its lowest level in two years amidst Brexit uncertainty, there has
never been a better time to visit due to more affordable costs.

Bhutan

On the eastern side of the Himalayas,
nestled between India and China, lies
the quiet yet magnificent Bhutan.
The country is known for its striking
landscapes, ornate monasteries, ancient
temples (such as Tiger’s Nest), and an

incredible commitment to sustainability.
Many don’t know the extent to which it
treasures the land—currently, 60 per cent
of Bhutan’s forests are protected under
constitutional law, making it the only
carbon-negative country in the world.
As a conservation focused company,
Beautiful Destinations has partnered
with local creators and the Bhutanese
government to capture the beautiful
mindset and scenery of this country.
