Head Chef

About Us

Located in the far north west of the Highlands Scourie Hotel has been welcoming guests to the area for over 170 years

Originally a destination hotel with guests coming to explore some of the finest and most extensive wild brown trout fishing available anywhere in the UK the recent creation of the NC500 (on which we sit) has brought a new breed of adventurer to the Highlands.

With 21 bedrooms and two kitchens serving our separate Dining Room and Bar we are one of the larger hotels in the area.

Due to our location we are a very seasonal business operating from March/April through to October.

We prepare our food using the very best and freshest of Sutherland's local ingredients; none more so than fruit, vegetables and herbs from our own poly tunnel and vegetable garden or smoked fish from our own in house smokery.

We are a family run business and pride ourselves on offering a happy and friendly working environment.

In recent years we have been honoured to receive a number of awards and recognitions and we are now keen to recruit a new Head Chef who will share our passion and join us in taking the business further.
