Visit Traitors Country: Explore the Scottish Highlands Like a Faithful

If you’ve watched BBC’s The Traitors, you’ll know it’s more than a game of strategy and suspicion — it’s a love letter to Scotland. As cloak-wearing contestants whispered in shadowy corners and plotted around candlelit tables, millions of viewers around the world were captivated by something else entirely:

the dramatic, cinematic beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

And the good news?
You don’t need to be invited to the round table to experience it yourself.

Welcome to Traitors Country — and your chance to explore it by motorhome.

Where Was The Traitors Filmed in Scotland?

The big question everyone asks is:
“Where was The Traitors filmed?”

The answer:
📍 Ardross Castle, Ross-shire, just north of Inverness.

This grand 19th-century castle sits within 100 acres of woodland, lawns, and riverside walks overlooking the River Alness. Although the building itself isn’t open for public tours (it’s a private estate used for events), the surrounding area is one of the most breathtaking corners of the Highlands.

If you’re travelling by motorhome, you can easily explore the wider region around the castle, including:

  • Cromarty Firth – famed for dolphin watching

  • Rogie Falls – stunning woodland walk with a suspension bridge

  • Glen Affric National Nature Reserve – often called the most beautiful glen in Scotland

  • Inverness – the Highland capital, full of history and great food

  • Black Isle – quiet beaches, distilleries, villages, and wildlife

Even though you can’t enter the castle, fans often take photos at viewpoints nearby — and the surrounding roads offer exactly the kind of Highland drama seen throughout the series.

Explore Like a Faithful (By Motorhome)

One thing The Traitors did brilliantly was show how wild, varied, and atmospheric the Highlands can be. Misty lochs, winding glens, and endless forests — places that look even better in real life.

Travelling by motorhome lets you experience that same cinematic atmosphere at your own pace, with complete freedom over where you eat, sleep, and explore next.

From our Glasgow depot, it’s an easy and stunning drive north through:

  • Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

  • The Cairngorms National Park

  • Into Inverness and Ross-shire — Traitors territory

Whether you’re a Faithful or a Traitor (no judgement here), a motorhome gives you space, comfort, and the flexibility to chase every scenic moment.

Are You a Faithful… or a Traitor to Adventure?

One of the best lines from the series is:
“Are you a Faithful?”

But when it comes to travel, the real question is:
Are you faithful to your sense of adventure?
Or are you betraying it by staying home?

Scotland is one of the world’s greatest road trip destinations — and the Traitors series has shown millions just how magical the Highlands really are.
