44 Must-See Literary Landmarks in the United Kingdom
41. Moniack Mhor, Scotland’s Highland Writing Haven
Hidden in the hills above Loch Ness, Moniack Mhor is Scotland’s national writing centre—and a literary pilgrimage for those seeking quiet, focus, and fire. Writers from across the world come here for residencies, workshops, and uninterrupted time, surrounded by wind-blown trees and views that stretch for miles. There’s no Wi-Fi in the bedrooms. No distractions. Just good food, creaking floorboards, and the deep silence in which stories take shape. Past alumni include Booker winners and debut scribblers alike. If you believe in the wild, slow birth of writing, Moniack Mhor is your highland cathedral.
