Fans of The Traitors can now step inside their own real-life round table. Luxury tour operator Unforgettable Travel has launched an all-new “Castles and Conspiracies” itinerary across the Scottish Highlands, a journey designed to immerse travelers in the intrigue, mystery, and moody landscapes that define the hit reality show. Timed with the excitement around The Traitors Season 4 cast reveal, the 11-night adventure invites travelers to explore Scotland’s castles, ruins, and cinematic backdrops for $13,000 per person.

While the series is filmed inside Ardross Castle near Inverness, this itinerary widens the drama across some of Scotland’s most evocative settings. Highlights include a stay at the lavish Inverlochy Castle Hotel, a property so atmospheric it practically begs for whispered alliances.

Travelers will also visit the aquamarine Fairy Pools of Glenbrittle, trek through the Highlands in search of secrets at Loch Ness, and wander the ancient Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age site that feels straight out of a tense late-night confession.

Inside Scotland’s most dramatic, Traitors-inspired adventure

The experience begins in lively Glasgow, where travelers settle in before heading north through iconic locations like Loch Lomond, the rugged valleys of Glencoe, and the famed Road to the Isles. On the Isle of Skye, guests explore Dunvegan Castle, the mythical Fairy Glen, and dramatic landmarks such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock, and The Quiraing.

The journey continues to The Torridon, a luxurious retreat offering hikes, canoeing, whisky tastings, and breathtaking Highland scenery. Along the way, travelers visit the romantic ruins of Armadale Castle, the storybook Eilean Donan Castle, and even stop at Loch Ness for a potential Nessie sighting.

The package includes 8 nights in four- or five-star accommodations, three nights at The Torridon, private transfers, English-speaking guides, activity fees, and 24/7 support. It excludes international flights, gratuities, and optional meals or activities.

The 6 best places to unplug: U.S. analog travel destinations
Road, Outdoors, Nature

According to the #1 rated luxury travel advisor resource, Classic Vacations’ most recent 2026 Summer Travel Forecast, 67% of travel advisors say their clients are booking vacations simply to rest and relax, a sign that today’s travelers are embracing slower, more intentional getaways. The outdated concept of “go, go, go” vacations doesn’t always hold true anymore, as travelers begin to adopt the mindset that “analog travel” can sometimes be preferable.

Analog travel is a trend centered on disconnecting from devices and reconnecting with local culture, nature, and immersive experiences. While not every analog travel destination is the same, many U.S. analog travel destinations share common characteristics such as a heavy focus on nature, culture, or human connection-style activities, fewer crowds and less commercialization, and a slower pace that encourages mindfulness. There are many types of this style travel that can be geared towards your unique travel preferences, such as a reading retreat getaway for the bookworm to a stargazing adventure for nature lovers.
