Story & Soul Retreats are intimate luxury retreats in the Scottish Highlands, created for travellers who want time to slow down, reconnect and experience Scotland in a more meaningful way.

Blending Highland storytelling, beautiful landscapes, gentle reflection and carefully planned experiences, each retreat is designed to feel restorative, personal and deeply connected to place. This is not a rushed sightseeing trip or a typical wellness week, but a thoughtfully held journey through Scotland’s wild scenery, ancient stories, sacred places and quiet corners.

​

Co-led by Emma Macaulay, founder of Macaulay Luxury Travel, Highland guide and storyteller, and Kate Graham, intuitive mentor, healer and founder of OracleFest, Story & Soul brings together two complementary ways of experiencing Scotland.

​

Emma creates the journey through the land itself, with relaxed, carefully paced excursions to iconic Highland locations, hidden gems, historic places and landscapes rich with folklore and meaning. Kate supports the inner journey through gentle practices such as reflective circles, guided ritual, sound therapy, intuitive bodywork, divination and ancestral connection, always in a grounded, invitational and supportive way.

​

You’ll stay in carefully selected accommodation chosen for comfort, atmosphere and connection to nature. Every detail is considered, from the daily rhythm and local experiences to the spaces for rest, reflection and conversation.

​

Story & Soul Retreats are for those who want to experience the Scottish Highlands with comfort, depth and a sense of wonder, returning home feeling rested, inspired and more connected to themselves and to Scotland.
