Best of travel: Explore the highlands by plane with The Carnegie Club
The private plane I’m boarding at South London’s Biggin Hill would be ideal for anyone who owns a desert island or alpine ski lodge. It’s a multi-talented Pilatus PC-12 NG. My destination is closer to home but even more exclusive: The Carnegie Club at Scotland’s Skibo Castle.
My pilot, Edwin Brenninkmeyer, who is also Pilatus’s distributor for the British Isles, describes the PC-12 as an SUV of the skies. You can go anywhere and do anything you want with it. It can take off and land in very short distances on unmetalled surfaces such as gravel, snow or, as confirmed when we touched down with barely a bump on the tiny Easter airfield near Tain, grass.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie got married in Scotland in 2000.
It was the undisputed “celebrity wedding of the year” when pop superstar Madonna tied the knot with movie director Guy Ritchie in a Highland castle two decades ago.
With Gwyneth Paltrow, Donatella Versace, Stella McCartney, Rupert Everett, Sting and his wife Trudy Styler among the A-list guests, it was an event that briefly bathed the exclusive venue and a quiet Sutherland town in the spotlight of worldwide attention.
Rock star Sting and wife Trudi Styler at Dornoch Cathedral in Sutherland.
And, while the star couple may have gone their separate ways, Skibo and Dornoch remain firmly associated with the multi-million selling singer referred to as “Madders” by the local minister who married them.
