Heritage in the everyday.
Four houses held by the Lindsay family — a farmhouse and a bothy at the heart of their Fife estate, and two on Knoydart, on the west coast — opened as places to stay.
De Byres takes its name from the oldest of the Lindsay family’s titles, granted in 1445. The family have held the barony near Upper Largo, Fife, ever since — and these four houses, two in Fife and two on Knoydart, are opened to guests in the same spirit of care.

A Victorian farmhouse at the heart of the Lindsay estate, sensitively restored and hung with pieces from the family’s own collection. Built for time with family and friends.
A two-bedroom bothy on the Fife coast, close to the family’s seat at Lahill — near enough to Incharvie to take both for a larger gathering.
An unspoilt retreat on the shore of Loch Nevis, with a wartime past as a secret SOE training school. Six bedrooms, sleeping eleven, reached by ferry from Mallaig.
Two double bedrooms in Inverie, a short walk from the Old Forge — the most remote pub on the British mainland — and set among some of Scotland’s finest walking.
Harbours that still land the catch for the East Neuk’s smokehouses and fish restaurants, a short drive from the door.
St Andrews, Dumbarnie Links and a dozen other coastal courses, all within around half an hour.
The Fife Coastal Path, fishing villages that have changed little in a century, and a wood-fired sauna on the sand at Elie.
