A Dream in the Making, The Eagle Brae story is the realisation of a dream, years of planning, hard work and investment for owners Mike and Pawana Spencer-Nairn. Mike, whose family is originally from Scotland, was raised in Jersey, in the Channel Islands. After travelling to the Himalayan regions of India a couple of times, he fell in love the area. It was here that he met Pawana in her home village in Himachal Pradesh state between Kashmir and Nepal where her family ran a guesthouse. A love story for the ages, they soon got married and set up home in Jersey, where their children were born. In 2005, Mike and Pawana left their Jersey home to fulfil their dream of creating the ultimate self-catering holiday experience in the Scottish Highlands. A One-of-a-kind Highland Getaway Eagle Brae is set on an 8,000 acre Estate in Struy, Inverness-shire, which has been in Mike’s family since the 1930s. Today Mike and Pawana have made this breathtaking corner of the world into a unique, luxury holiday experience. Instead of your usual run-of-the-mill holiday chalets, everything from the logs to the linen has been hand-made and the family’s ties with the Himalayas can be seen throughout. It’s a place where guests are free to indulge in the privacy of their own cabins or take part in the wonderful activities on offer. The Eagle Brae story continues…

Certhia is one of Eagle Brae‘s most breathtaking luxury log cabins, and one of the most highly rated in the UK. Opened in December 2018, this Scottish self-catering retreat sits on a natural ridge above the resort. From here, the views stretch down the full length of Strathglass towards the ancient outline of Erchless Castle. As such, few luxury log cabin holidays in the UK offer a setting this dramatic. Fewer still combine it with the warmth, comfort, and craftsmanship you find at Eagle Brae. Certhia takes its name from the Treecreeper, a small bird that moves quietly up tree trunks in search of insects hidden beneath the bark. It is a fitting name. And the cabin sits within the natural rhythm of the Highland landscape. Here, the wildlife moves around you rather than simply past you. A luxury log cabin with a private viewpoint in the Scottish Highlands What sets Certhia apart from other luxury log cabins Scotland has to offer is its elevated position. The cabin sits on a prominent ridge, giving guests their own private viewpoint above the valley floor. This is not simply a scenic backdrop. It’s an immersive Highland experience, where the changing light, weather, and wildlife become part of every day. Guests often spot wild deer crossing directly in front of the deck. What’s more, birds of prey circle the glen below. Meanwhile, pine martens and red squirrels move through the surrounding woodland. For guests searching for luxury remote log cabins Scotland, Certhia offers something genuinely rare. It’s why it’s one of the most well-positioned small luxury log cabins in the whole of the country. The ridge setting also means Certhia enjoys outstanding natural light. Large windows frame the glen views from inside. Because of this, the cabin feels connected to the landscape at every hour of the day.
