A Testament to our Quality and Luxury

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Scotland's natural landscapes, Balmaha Lodges frequently receives visits from celebrities worldwide looking for a secluded retreat from their busy lives in the spotlight.

In November 2021, we had the pleasure of hosting an extra special special guest – Hollywood actor and producer Gerard Butler. Known for his captivating performances and charismatic presence, Butler chose the tranquillity of our exclusive Ptarmigan Lodge as a base when planning a surprise visit to his mother, turning an ordinary November into an unforgettable experience.

Choosing the right lodge for his visit

Gerard Butler's visit to Ptarmigan Lodge was a testament to our commitment to privacy and luxury and a beautiful reminder of the lodge's charm and elegance. Buter, acclaimed for his roles in films like "300" and "P.S. I Love You," enjoyed the peaceful ambience, modern facilities (like free WiFi and excellent self-catering options), and breathtaking views that Ptarmigan Lodge offered.

While Ptarmigan Lodge, the lodge that housed Gerard Butler during his stay, is no longer available, its spirit lives on in the memories and stories shared by those who experienced its luxury.
