PATRICK DEMPSEY ON SKYE

“I spent time off the north-west coast of Scotland 10 years

around the

13th-century

Dunvegan Castle, seat of the Clan Macleod. The coastline is very beautiful, quite similar to Maine but with fewer trees. There’s a sense of tradition that you just don’t find in Los Angeles. I’d buy a house there in a heartbeat.” circumference, there are views of serene green nature from any vantage; swim, fish and sunbathe on the deck.

A two-night stay costs 8,680 krona (£765), based on a maximum of four guests, including eco-friendly bathroom products and a full-board complement of organic vegetarian meals or ingredients for cooking, plus speed boat transfers from the mainland (kabin.nu).
