You could arrive by helicopter, otherwise you need to traverse a metal bridge and negotiate the lanes to reach this generously proportioned granite and sandstone baronial mansion on the privately owned island of Eriska. It is surrounded by grounds that are virtually an unofficial nature reserve, with seals and otters offshore, herons high in the trees and badgers roaming around at night.
This is the family seat of the Buchanan-Smiths, who are admirably supported by chef Simon Mckenzie who joined Eriska in 2011.
