Our Story
The Family Behind Craighead Howfs
We are Ian and Heather, and our journey at Craighead began in 1990 when we moved here with our two sons, Lewis and Arran. Later, we welcomed our daughter, Hayley, and together we have spent years restoring the house, tending the land, and creating unique places for guests to enjoy.
With Ian’s joinery expertise and our shared love of nature and the outdoors, we wanted to create something different—handcrafted stays that connect people with the beauty of Scotland.
