Across Scotland, a growing number of hotels and experiences offer something a little different, ranging from snow cabins and scenic countryside retreats to memorable dining experiences.
Whether it’s stargazing from a loch-side hot tub at Knipoch House Hotel or enjoying rare vintages by the glass at Divino Enoteca, these destinations offer thoughtful ways to turn a simple thank you into a memorable day out.
For the mum who deserves some TLC:
Mum definitely deserves total relaxation this Mother’s Day, and the ‘Journey Together Spa Day’ at Old Course Hotel offers just that: a curated wellness escape designed to restore and renew. Guests can enjoy two hours’ access to luxury spa facilities, including a rejuvenating hydrotherapy experience, followed by a 50-minute hot and cold thermal experience in the new Snow and Sauna cabin.
The experience also includes a 50-minute massage for two in a double treatment room and a nourishing lunch in the Spa Café - the perfect way to wind down and spend some quality time together.
Priced at £370 for two people, book this experience by visiting: www.oldcoursehotel.co.uk
For the mum who loves a glass of vino (or two):
Enjoy a wine discovery at Divino, Edinburgh - perfect for mums who appreciate exceptional food and wine. Divino is home to Scotland’s only state-of-the-art Enomatic machine, allowing diners the chance to try rare vintages by the glass without having to commit to a full bottle.
The Eno Experience allows guests to sample a curated selection of self-serve wines at their own pace, paired with a delicious antipasto board. The candle-lit cellar has an inviting atmosphere that makes it the ideal choice for a relaxed and memorable Mother’s Day celebration.

Set inside one of Edinburgh’s most historic and ‘instagrammable’ settings, afternoon tea at the Colonnades offers a truly special treat. Guests can enjoy silver tiered stands filled with handcrafted sweet and savoury creations, while surrounded by soaring ceilings, ornate columns and shelves of rare books. With views across iconic city landmarks, it’s a refined and memorable way to celebrate that someone special.

For the mum who never says no to a G&T:
Raise a glass to mum with the limited-edition ‘I Love Harris Gin’ from the award winning Isle of Harris Distillery. Designed as a heartfelt keepsake, each bottle celebrates the spirit of the island community with a bespoke copper-heart label and a handwritten gift card from the distillery team.
